Friendship Plate

This is one of three plates I was commissioned to make for someone who wanted to share the sentiment of friendship with two good friends. I will be taking the finished pieces out of the kiln today. Can't wait to see how they turned out.
The last week has been very busy with making and firing new work. The kilns are probably waiting for a rest, but it's not in sight yet. I have gotten a few moments to work on new pieces and have lots of ideas just waiting to bust out when I get some time. I think I will end up choosing a day for experimentation and trying to stick to that with discipline, in order to keep things fresh.
