And the next
« on: April 04, 2019, 07:43:40 PM »
This one was again meant to be a small, cheap item. Duh!!! Make me some really small pieces she says, tea bowls, vases that sort of thing she says.  of course who am I to disobey her indoors. LITTLE hollowform in lime with spring snowdrops and a bee. 110mm high x 70mm wide. By the time you tot up an hourly rate it still ain't going to be cheap. Never thought you could get that many snowdrops on something so small.

A sweet piece of turning Pete and beautifully decorated Mo ! I like the shape and as it is photographed against a plain background, there is an interesting reverse line/shape. I would have thought that snowdrops are tiny so room for plenty of them ?  :)

Thank you John. Getting the curves right on thse little things can be a bit awkward as if it is wrong it throws the whole piece out of synch. Sadly there was room for a lot of snowdrops LOL. Getting a cheaper alernative is proving difficult.

Another very nice piece of a joint effort as always Pete.

You are going to have to make two of everything and hid one for the cheap option ;D ;D ;D

This verges on being mistaken for ceramic, that is a compliment I hasten to add.

L overly work again Mo.
