Playful Catchall Trays

 Not content to just use a simple glaze when I make a tray,

I have resorted to using lots of different things

to create an interesting finish...

For instance, I'll sometimes use more than one clay body

or actually smear one clay body on the other like I did above

to create the sensation of clouds.

Then there's the back of the tray; isn't it fun to turn one over

and find a surprise like these infinities bordering the edge?

This smaller tray is made from clay which had been printed

with an underglaze decal, but only on part of it.

The hand drawn leaves and dots were used to form a connection

between the two patterns...

And the reverse side of this 3" x 4" tray 

also has the surprize border of hand drawn leaves.

One of my favorite trays decorated totally with Designer Liners and

underglazes both front and back before being clear glazed.

and Designer Liner accents both front and back...
