~*~*~*~RAVEN'S TREAT PARTICULARS~*~*~*~
I find Ravens/Crows the most amazing birds to paint!! Because of their "blackness" they can be so many shades of dark colors: plums and reds, deep deep deep burnt oranges, or yummy dark cobalt blue, like this one! The plate was bisque fired to cone 05, then I drew the raven and berry design on it with pencil and started the 3 part layering of glaze paints in order to achieve the brilliant colors you see on the finished piece. I decided to add a few pinwheel stars and a "swirly background" to give it movement, (perhaps there's a crisp Autumn breeze blowing through the berry patch!), painted the underside an intense raspberry red, titled it "Raven's Red Raspberry Treat", signed and dated it, added 2 coats of clear glaze and then fired it to cone 06.

This is a Press Molded deep Plate/Platter made from earthenware clay and it measures 14" in diameter and is 1 1/2" deep. All of my functional pottery is microwave and dishwasher safe, (although I do recommend hand washing, just to be safe), and painted with lead free/food safe glazes. Please do not put this in the oven!

This is an exciting serving dish for all occasions and when not in use can be placed in a plate stand and be on display as an art-piece in your home. Who knew Raven's could be so colorfully multi-functional!?! This would also make a unique, playful and wondrous gift for any Raven/Crow lover....or yourself!!!

Thank you for stopping by and looking!!
Peace and smiles.... :)Kristin
