Nice design.

Thank you!

Amazing work

:) Thank you for the compliment!

Gold always makes things pop out and stand out, and makes things so much more prettier :)

Although, even if it didn't have the gold, it would still very pretty =D Your porcelain stuff is amazing :)

:D

That is very pretty! Would this be an ornamental plate or could it actually be used? I'd be afraid to use it though XD

With the addition of the gold on the center of the plate, I would not use it for food. Gold is a luster that sits on the surface of the glaze, and with rough handleing can scratch. (like your grandmother's china with the gold rims...the rims always look worn after many years.)
Anything I make without a luster (mother-of-pearl or gold) CAN be used for food. (all of my mugs are food safe!)

That's so neat. I'll have to look through the rest of your gallery now =^_^= I haven't seen much of your work yet.

Wow, that's all kinds of classy! I love all the gilded feathers around the rim - they accent the piece well, and help feed the illusion of movement, as if they're falling free of the leaping gryphon.

Seriously, the urge to play with one's food while eating from a plate like this is overwhelming.
This should probably not be given to a child or anyone whose inner child has the keys to the brain.

Golden talons. <3 <3 That, and everything else about it, is love. Question: How did you do the black outline? You must have some steady hand.

Lol! Lots of practice with a crowquill and ink from my inking days for Arrow Comics. The 'ink' is really thinned-down china paint...in this case, I used a deep blue. The slick china surface makes it a bit of a challange too! Oh, and the paint does not dry. It stays wet till you fire it...so no touchie!

Hi Sandy! I remember the Arrow Comic days too. Your inking was lovely then and it's even better now! great job.
