SIMPLE INLAY

Illustrated is a detail shot of some simple glaze inlay that I did on a series of small, square dessert plates recently. Each plate is approximately 8" x 8" and glazed in my temmoku with fine line inlay using the medieval green. what I like about this technique is that where the medieval green meets the temmoku, it has a soft, blurry effect creating iron tendrils that make their way into the light green decoration, it softens the overall appearance and makes for a natural look. The decoration itself is my basic "landscapeman" design that is only a bit wider than a pencil tip that is altered to look like cosmic or stellar intersections which I have mentioned before stems from an old Sci-Fi movie. Each small plate has the same basic theme but was decorated differently to complement each other which quite honestly made it easier on me and the eye as well.
