Grape tile

I used this 8" tile for a test as I wanted to check what violet of iron monochrome with added washes would look like. I like it!
I added the lustre and grapes on the sides as I wanted the main design to sit on an oblong shape and not a square, and this was one way to frame up the sides of the tile.
One of the next things I want to paint is a matching pair of ginger jars with a similar design on them. (hence the trial run!)

Cute Cat !

I saw a picture in a magazine that inspired me to paint the cat on this 3" dish.
The colours used are Meissen Red, rich brown and black, tan and a lighter yellow, and with the Meissen around the rim.
Cute eh?

Close up of the art work below!

I don't know if you can see in this picture, but I added a little bit of texture paste around the centres of all the flowerettes which sit on the top of each hydrangea head.

Blue Hydrangeas

These blue hydrangeas are painted on a 12" bone china plate. It was a joy to paint and I loved adding the little bits of pink to enhance the flowers and leaves. I like the uneven-ness but balance of the blue rim!

The design was adapted from a Grace Moss study.

Bisque set of three!

This bisque set has been sitting in my cupboard for years, waiting to be painted. Last week I suddenly had an idea of what to paint on it ........ I wanted to paint it as a set, and not as 3 individual items with different designs. There is enamel work on a few of the flowers, and the white penwork around the rim of each of the 3 pieces is done to look like lace.

Bisque Egg

This bisque egg has been painted for an exchange with someone who lives on the other side of the world from me. I sure hope she likes it, for I sure enjoyed painting it for her!
The egg is 3" long and was poured by my friend Bev Stone who lives in Seattle, U.S.A.

Under the egg I have written the name of the recipient, together with the date . . . . and my name as the artist.

This is the top of the egg!
