This big platter that was ordered for a wedding gift..... It looks so beautiful - what a pure joy taking it out of the kiln just this morning..... hoping that it would be perfect.... and it is... I am sure the young bride... who loves colour and particularly purple... will love it.... the back is luscious, too. It is a special pleasure when you create something for someone.... I have been really loving this with my clothing line, too.... it takes you in a different direction.... making exciting works that maybe you would never have thought of on your own....
