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
