Press molded plate with leaf pattern

Celadon glaze on smooth white clay (pressed leaf pattern). I 'panic' glazed this - submerging it into the glaze like I was doing the washing. What I should have done is quickly but confidently moved it through the glaze. There is a little puddle of double glaze on the interior of this plate as a result. I'm sticking to bucket-sized pieces to practice glazing and also I've made a large piece to try this technique on flatware again (you don't want to see the bottom of this - it's a mess!)

Drawing the Pictures

In December, Gerlin (Coincidental Happenings ) posted about 'Drawing the Pictures' . Earlier in 2012 she asked a selection of creatives to produce something that represents their favourite film. I made an embroidery based on a scene from 'Three Men and A Baby', which is easily my favourite film. The zine is available to buy from here and includes some lovely contributions from Daria Hlazatova and Mayken Craenen amongst others. I'm going to give it a read now.
