Plate-cane

Like I said before I wanted to make plates from a clay cane. And now I've tried that =) At first I thought of doing several trees and a house and the sky and the ground.. When I had made the first tree I realized it would take a LOT of clay and time to do more. So I decided to only do one tree =) I was inspired by Clarice Cliff's plates and patterns. I just love her Art Deco patterns!

Like always, when I do a cane, it gets bigger then I first thought.. I thought I started small, but boy did I get a lot of plate-materials now.. =) I've already done several plates and I thought of making earrings and necklaces of some of them too =)

I most say I'm quite pleased how the pattern turned out =) Its hard to make plates the exact same size, but I have a lot of cane left to keep trying =)

I've done a toy too, but I'll write about that later =) And I keep working on the floor for my livingroom and I've put up wallpaper to all the walls except one =) Hope to get the time for that last wall tomorrow. I'm very eager to assemble the house again, but I'll have to paint the ceilings and maybe do all the floors first too... but now I just want to start decorating =)

Take care
Hannah

  1. It's a good idea making the plates with a cane and your design is nice. For me the most difficult to make plates is the form.

    1. You just cant make a little cane, so I got a lot material now =) But I think I can use the pattern for different stuff, and not just plates =)

  4. Great pattern! It's very modern and cool. And I love that the plates aren't the same size. It makes it look very artsy.

    1. Thank you! I just had to try it, a bit easier than painting, but like I said, the size and keeping the pattern straight can be an issue...

    1. Thank you! I'm happy with the result, I didn't have that high expectations and I knew it would be hard to get the same size, but they look a bit more home-made =)
