In the works

I have always been fascinated with antique oyster plates, the fancy shmancy ones. It has been on my mind to design some of my own. It took me a little while to figure out how to put them together and get the look I want, elaborate, but contemporary. In the photos here you are seeing them in the greenware stage. That means the pieces are drying and no color has been put on them and they have not been fired. If I were to put them in a bucket of water they would turn back into soft clay that I could use again. These are pieces that need a lot of attention and baby-ing while they dry to insure that they do not warp. So it will be slow going with these. But I have big plans and high hopes for these.
