First cast of the rabbit I have done. He's going to be sitting on my new fairy cake stands.























Cast half of the frame shape! Just waiting for my order of materials from Castree Kilns until I can finish it off. Just realised that they have a shop on ebay, and they are also the cheapest suppliers in South Wales!












Starting to sketch some designs for the frame shape I have cast....Going to experiment with design on the outer and the inner part, as well as some 2d and 3d pattern. Just deciding on whether to use inlay or transfers, or both!

Artist: Cinnamon Art

Loving the classic plate shapes of this artist. It's the kind of shape I'm hoping my cast will come out like. Unfortunately their blog is in chinese so I can't read it, or figure out how to translate it!










Newly found figures from good old Splott Market. Cast the rabbit. Deliberating whether to use them as they are or cast them all. Do I want to use them over and over, or do I want to help the environment and produce some one off masterpieces ....









New piece number one. Found yee olde plate for bread - (complete with text - give us this day our daily bread), decided the back of it looked much more interesting than the front so took about 7 pints of plaster, and have cast it! Not quite sure what I'm going to do with it, surface ideas to come....
