A border of lustre over acid etch

With this border, I marked off the squares and then lightly sponged acid etch on alternative spaces. After it was fired I sponged lustre over the whole border and fired again. On the last fire I penned grey paint to make the squares more pronounced.

More Roses!

I love the yellow sunshine behind these roses, and the way it reflects on some of the petals. The border is lustre (with a rim of gold), over penned acid etch.

Ellie's Box

This is the birth box I painted for Ellie, who is now just over 3 months old and (of course) beautiful.
Her birth record is on the bottom of the box, and my name is inside the lid.
One very good thing about recording history information on porcelain, is that it will last for ever. It will never fade or wear out, and it will even survive a fire . Of course it could break but then it could be mended also.
I wonder what it will look like, and where it will be in a hundred years time?
