I have been inspired by this shape, combined with thoughts about all the activity that happens here in Adelaide during March (Festival, Fringe, Womadelaide, Car races, horse races...) to make some taller versions and decorate them with imagery relating to the sights and sound of these events, if they work I'll enter them in the South Australian Ceramics Award show.
The Skatellites a Womadelaide 2010
I made up some new glazes to try with the plaster stamps that I made from the dessert dishes, this is my favourite, it needs to be a bit thicker but I'm happy with where its going, I'll also pinch the corners of these noodle bowls a little tighter so that the chopsticks can be rested on the inside.
What happened to those eggplant leaves? With a bit of copper wash and a little chintzy bug they have become these plates, perhaps for a fancy starter or sushi...the same with these fabric inlaid plates, I think the curled up edges provide a convenient place for thumbs, making them easier to hold in a buffet type situation perhaps..

Thanks girls...mutual critique/ review of ideas, thoughts about a show = Lunch at mine on the first wed or thurs after the market - whichever is best for rose, sticks came from a friend who visited singapore, someone has to go on a buying trip there!
they all look super. I like how you made the indentations for the chopsticks and the top jars are very beautiful, the one on the right reminds me of a merry go round.
