Its that time of year again....
...when I get out and about, to a handful of local art and craft shows with my pottery, fabric and some jewelry...
Its fun for me: I like meeting new friends, getting feedback on my work, and selling some too!
These mugs are a new design for me this year.
These two brilliant fish plates also were sold... but I can always make more!
So much planning goes into a project like this: simply selecting the dish types with the client is very important and takes tremendous concentration and some application of logic.
Of course, getting the dishes planned and painted has also taken a certain amount of fore thought and mental organisation....
I had to pay a lot of attention to keep track of what I was doing, each step, to keep the consistency in the design for each group.
The cat is always particularly helpful at this time. (?)
All the pieces are specifically designed to match in sets...Lots of variation between sets, but also clear repetition of the design within the set.
Each dinner plate, side plate and mug has its own particular fruit or vegetable.
The backs of the plates reflect the vine theme on the bowls.
I think these oval "luncheon" plates are very cool.
Still yet to paint are two very large serving platters, one with fruit and one with veggies. And two large serving bowls, one with fruits, one with veggies!
I broke this one. 
Time to take a "break" (hahahaha!) from ceramics.
Well, they are all great, I am very happy with them, and they look great all together.
The backs on the big plates are red. The backs on the smaller plates are green.
