I wanted a platter that looked like Leather, or that would feel like your best Saddle.  I used Waterfall brown and raw Sienna to get this look from mastering Cone 6 Glazes (MC6G) fired ^6 Oxidation, electric kiln slow cool.

My donation Platter for High Prairie (Colorado Horse Park) Summer shows.  They have a class for Adult riders both Hunter and Jumper so I thought it could go for either class?  I think it turned out ok!  And first place is ALWAYS a BLUE RIBBON!

Remember the pair of Cruets?  Well I think I have the Blues…..<G>  I did this set in tones of blues from MC6G Variegated blue, Field mouse brown and Clear liner glaze.  Hummmmm

Cone ^6 Oxidation Firing, Electric Kiln, Slow Cool.  I wanted something to make my bowls stand out a bit more and began experimenting with overlapping or layering glazes.  I hope you can see the subtle purple on got here.

My goal on this set was subtle blues with a hint of brown.  My last 2 sets were very bright, unlike my style so I wanted to go back to more of what I like.

I made a little “roller” to use for texture.  I used my grandmother’s hand made lace design for the roller out of clay, than bisque fired it.  Ta DAH  a texture tool that is unique!
