Inspiration is from the leaves and a Mike Buesseler technique that Janice taught at Guild a few years ago.
It came out OK, could have been better, but it's not bad. I baked the bottom circle first and then added the sides, but I didn't use liquid clay to cement the sides to the bottom. If you look closely you can see where the sides have pulled away from the bottom in parts in the bottom photo. I've not had that happen before, but it'll make me more cautious the next time I do it.
Not sure who I'll give it to. I think I'll try one with maple leaves and fall colours for my father for when he visits.Cheers,
Sandy

Love the colors and textures! Very nice!
It turned out lovely Sandy! I'm not familiar with that technique. Did you put mica powder on leaves and then press them into the clay? Because that is what it looks like to me. So pretty. Gives me some ideas. Thanks for sharing your project!
