Pretty excited to get the kids off to school today. I have a cupboard full of pots to decorate. They are staying quite damp with all this rain. I guess I should have taken a picture of the bottoms too! It's like having decorated 8 pots instead of four. Still playing with the ikat pattern. It's really fun to paint so that it has a tromp l'oeil woven texture. Thinking I should spend more time in the fabric store. A trip to Mood in NYC would be excellent. Perhaps I have been watching too much Project Runway when I start to think of my pots as fashion models while designing the pattern to compliment the form.
The leaf pattern when fired should reveal a layer of leaves below the sponged straw surface. I had to force myself to give up the tulip pattern for now. I guess I'm not ready for the seasons to change. For someone who paints lots of flowers it's hard to get all wintry in September. After the kids got home I finished one more piece. Wheat is a happy compromise from this Kansas girl.
