The above photo is the mould i made in half with the clay ready to come out and be shaped and smoothed to the way i want.
As you can see i have done this one before but i thought i'd do another one as it turned out well
These two are it upside down. Well it's two different ones at different stages of drying
I am so pleased with how this (well them) has turned out.
I have really been enjoying making these and i will being more as i hope that i will be able to sell some (trying to work out how much to charge). They haven't been fired yet but i have been able to colour them with a maroon velvet underglaze. The lighter one was had gone off completely (fully dried) and the other one is leatherhard (still damp) so there is a difference in the shade, i don't know if this will change as it drys but i will find out next week. They are now waiting to go into the kiln. Oh yes to get the colour on i painted it on like you would paint anything and it was so easy. You can get the underglaze in alsorts of colours so i can do a whole range of these.Anyway i still have work to do and i will take photos of these in use which i can't wait for.

You seem to be busy, don't forget us at UKS! :)
They are looking really good, Beth.
I saw a canvas of yours with inchies at SIStv, noticed that you hadn't been on in a very long while and thought I would check out your blog. I am impressed with your ceramics work.
Best wishes on completing that degree.
