The vase, given to me by my friend Ming Lien from Taiwan, was painted with pansies using deep purple and Miesen Green in the background. The neck was 3 fires of the Miesen Green cross hatched to get the textured coloured look. The band of gold is edged with I.Relief, the band itself acid etched with lines and then fired. Liquid Bright Gold covered this work, and after firing I painted Miesen Green lightly over the middle section of the band.
The main part of the 6" pot (below) was painted much the same way, except the LBG first has a heavy application of Miesen Green and when fired was covered with LBG and glad wrapped. It is a pleasing effect.
