Life got expensive....

Ok, just my newest hobby. I found five wonderful leaves to paint with PMC+ slip and turn into pure silver. Then I discovered that I ran out of PMC+ slip! So, I’ve made a quick order of lots (10!) more PMC+, but I’ll have to use the PMC3 I have on hand because the leaves need to be done rather quickly or they get ruined.

Here are some photos of recent stuff:

Before firing:




After firing:






BTW, those two leaves are the same leaf. First one I pressed it into a rolled out slab of clay. Second one was painted with ~10-15 layers of slip, that's why it's green - that's the real leaf there.
A big THANK YOU to my SO for getting much better pictures for me after seeing the crummy ones I managed.
