Exhibition display

 

I think I will use these two sets for the exhibition.

And set them out in this way on the shelf.

 

Clear glazed Baby’s breath and Daffodil set.

Final cruet sets.

 

Daffodil and Baby’s breath. Under-glazed then sprayed with clear shiny over the top. (Daffodil has no clear on this picture).

 

This is my least favourite set, but I decided to do two sets of the Forget-me-not, and the Lilac, so the next  set is a lot better.

 

I think the painting is a lot better on this set as this was my second attempt as the meanings behind the flowers are very important to me.

 

I am quite pleased with this set, the Lavender and Marigold. I am proud of the painting on the marigold, and the colours came out really nicely with the lavender, though I wonder if I should of placed the Lavender in a different position.

 

This set is my absolute favourite. I love the vibrancy of the colours on both pots, and am hoping to exhibit these in the level 1 show!

Sunflower and Camellia.

 

 

These are my salt and pepper shakers after slip casting into my mold and then de-molding. I used my fettling tools and a sponge to smooth out my shape. I am using the symbolism of flowers and linking them together to form salt and pepper. I hand-made these flowers (lilac and a forget me not) out of rolled slip cast.

The meanings behind the lilac is first love, and the forget me not is true love.

This set is the daffodil and baby’s breath.
The daffodil is March’s flower the month my sister was born, and baby’s breath means innocence and pure heart.

This is the Sunflower and Camellia.
The Sunflower means adoration, and Camellia means longing, perfection, and loveliness.

This is a Marigold and Lavender.
The Marigold means pain and grief, and the Lavender means distrust and caution.
