Snow!

Okay, it's just a little bit, but I'm still happy to see it.

Getting work done on a couple of ceramic plates. Hope to finish them today. Contemplating what to put on the third plate -- looks like a gigantic pie plate. It's one of the early templates, before Odbald got into the wider rim. The two I'm currently working on are kinda flat, but that's okay as the Italians had both flat and deep dishes.

Hmmm...

Our household did a complete table setting for a local Challenge. If you're interested, you can see the ceramics part at http://www.joyeusegarb.com/ and go into the 'House Kernough' link.

Very nice! And noticed the links at the bottom, too.

Where did you get the blanks from? Odbald generally makes them, but if they compare favorably for cost, I'd be just as happy to get some of those deep plates, myself. I've done a bit of looking on the web, but no luck yet. I may be using the wrong words for searching.

We went around to one of the local places, "Clay Cafe", where you can buy the greenware, and they let you sit and use their paints, and then will fire it for you - all for the price that's on the blank piece. We could take as we liked to finish it, too, and it made for some really great Sunday afternoons.
There are now several places in town that do the same idea, so it might be worth looking in your yellow pages for a "do-it-yourself" clay-painting place.

Ah,that I've done -- no luck so far. But perhaps if I show them a picture of the type of plate, they might be able to order them for me. Thanks.
