This elephant ear that was a star in my last post, became something permanent. I cut leaves, removing the stem and pressed them into my stoneware clay. I used the largest leaves for the platter and smaller leaves for the plates. I used hosta leaves for the smaller sauce dishes. I actually have had the pieces made since back in the summer but have just gotten around to glazing and photographing. I think it turned out great. The glaze color reminds me of the natural color. Greenish blue with darker accents.
I may try the suggestion of doing some concrete stepping stones maybe next year.
And even if you're not into sushi, the set can be used for all kinds of serving.
I think I need a bigger house so I can keep more of my own work. I would love to keep this set but just don't have room in my kitchen!
Those look great -- so organic. The green/brown glaze reminds me of my mother's Frankoma collection.
ReplyDeleteOh Julie, these are so cool! You could get a counter top display stand for the set, or maybe a bakers rack.
ReplyDeleteYou could keep the stepping stones, and they are a great idea.
Those are beautiful! I can think of a lot of things you could use those for. The smaller one would be cute on a dresser or vanity to put jewelry in.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I might have to look for a place if they don't sell out of my shop. But, then, I could make more! LOL!!
DeleteI love these - what a cool idea! I found you thru Della's blog and now I'm your newest follower.
