50% of A&s 50 challenge complete - round up so far!

I have completed 50% of my A&S challenge! I've got to finish another 5 before June to succeed in one part of my Moralez-Beaumont  household challenge. I've got a little over a year to finish this thing and I've learned so much already. I've made items from a range of locations, and in a range of shapes. I am a little stuck on Iranian pottery at the moment because they have such lovely complex designs with none of the shading that's so very majolicia (Item 11).

I've sort of stalled on the tiles as it's getting harder to keep track of what designs I've already completed and where everything fits together. I am determined I will finish at least half of my tile designs as I plan on using them to decorate a bathroom, once I have a house. In other news, next time I drop by Glazeit they should have some new bisque for me to try - cups! I'm very excited and have started collecting reference images on Pinterest

  1. Wow! I found your blog looking for images of extant medieval Mughal pottery. I'm an Indian Laurel in Trimaris. Where do you live?

    1. There's an Indian Laurel?! Wow! I totally want to pick your brain! Will you be at Pennsic 2015? I'm going to assume you're the Madhavi from the SCA_India yahoo group (I've been lurking since last Pennsic).
      I'm based in Lochac for the moment, there's a couple of people who do Indian down here. I'm trying to spread it as much as possible.

  2. Also, have you found some good Mughal pottery? It's a direction I've put on my list of things to research.
