Glazing like Georgia

 O'Keefe that is! Her poppies...or my version of them....(another repost from 2019)


On to plates this time.

This was just before coating the with a couple of layers of clear matte glaze.  They will be sort of creamy colored, with hopefully brilliant red flowers.

In case you wondered...first the yellow in the center is over a layer of black, so it probably will be black with a few specks of yellow where it was thinner.  The little dots will probably blend in.  That's the plan anyway.

And why did I make 3 plates, you might ask.  Because one had a crack, so there aren't 4. 

And when they are glaze fired, they'll shrink a bit more, and be nice sandwich plates.

NOTE from 2023: I decided to keep these, and love having sandwiches and small salads and even deserts on them
