Having Fun

I decorated these earthenware trays today. They are around 4" x 6". I have a group of pots drying on the wood stove tonight including these. I'll be bisquing on Wednesday and want to get everything good and dry.

I had fun trying out a couple new deco methods here. The top right is white slip with some green slip 'hills' and a little incised bird. Below that I dipped the tray in white slip and then drew the chicken form in latex resist. After that dried I covered that in black slip and later peeled off the latex and incised some details. Lastly a few white slip dots over the black slip. The others are pretty self explanatory. That chicken is pretty cool, eh?
They will all get the amber glaze.
Cheers. Ron
