It worked.
That's it.
Mwhahahahahahahah. My little joke. Voila.
Yes, I think you'll agree, and I certainly hope my client agrees, that this is much brighter, accurate and generally very bonny indeed. Got some tweeking to do now I see what those glazes are like to paint with and I might just drop the red but generally... pretty pleased.
And since I overfired some in the bicuit firing like a complete twat (see new, over-enthusiastic kiln elements.. blast!), I'll have a few to practice on while I get it right. Silver lining la la la etc - this is the attitude we hapless ceramicists have to adopt as we take another happy-slapping from the Kiln Gods...
Service Interuption... I've just found a glass of wine I poured for myself 2 hours ago and FORGOT TO DRINK!!!!
*stares in disbelief*
Anyway, before I sign off to go and remedy that, this one-off variation on my Vessels Tile range came out right nice yesterday.
Just thought I'd share that before I go off and drink the wine and pass out do some more important stuff.
