Oval Platter

The other week I was running (exaggerated!) through Farmers Store, and saw this gorgeous shaped oval 12" platter.    So of course I had to stop and buy it, and almost straight away went home and sat down and began to paint it!      The back ground has had matt white sponged over it, and then covered with mother of pearl after firing.    I wanted a soft and dainty look for the platter and I think I have accomplished that.  :-)
