I have always glazed these pieces with a creamy satin "white" glaze that is a close match for my clay body. If the spraying of the glaze misses a bit underneath where the roses attach, no one is the wiser. I have always dreamed of doing pieces in red (and maybe even black) but have stopped short of applying the color as the pieces take so frigging long to make. I was scared to risk losing one to an experiment in color. Last week I took a deep breath and filled my sprayer with a satin cherry red.
Take a look....a lesson learned for me...stop being such a chicken.

my new favorite quote...."FAIL HARDER". it's going on my shop wall. well done josie, i'm drinking my coffee from your mug this moment.
Great quote Heidi...Thanks, I'll use that one.
Stunning! Loving those roses for now, soon you will be on to something completely different.
Wow, love the red. New experiments are scary, glad this one turned out so well! Just remember, even if it had turned out bad, you'd have finally appeased that voice inside saying "try it! try it!" and could move on to other things.
love them! beautiful.
