I am having a fairly quiet day today. I did go to the ceramics studio and spent over two hours more on the plate. All the squares now painted and I have put small, slightly darker dots, alongside the red ribbons. Doesn't really show on the picture but I am hoping that it will make it look ribbon like when it is fired. I am planning to finish it off over the weekend so that it can be fired before Christmas.
On the way home I called in at the craft shop and collected the napkin rings that I made on Wednesday evening. Quite cute, but more difficult to make than they look!
It is bright and sunny today but the wind is bitterly cold. Going to have a lazy afternoon then off to see a film at the library this evening.

      I am doing the plate as a sample for the shop. It has a slight chip on one edge which is not visible now it is painted, I may buy it off them after it has been displayed for a while. I think the napkin rings my find a new home on Boxing Day! x
