Nimbus the accident prone represents attempt five at purple with four solid cotes of Walker purple under brush on glaze. Perhaps Thickness of pigment will help. Foot and hat-tip will be rejoined with PVA and glaze. Hopefully this will form a decent bond during firing.
Formiferia is a delightful experiment in greens with Brunswick base underlying the lighter colours.
Mistletoe is perfect for that Christmas vibe. Sporting Rocket Red, white and Walker green, this gnome vase festive colours are sure to please.
It took me sometime to decide how to decorate this epic hat. I’m really pleased with the motif balance.
Bellflure has been sealed with clear gloss glaze to ensure a watertight vase. Decorated in white, electric and cobalt blue this four stem vase is sure to stun. The magnificent mustache is my favourite bit.
Bamboshi is experiment 4 in purple. Walker purple mixed with a good dollop of Rocket Red. Hopefully this was blended enough to result in a good even purple. Four coats have been applied.
Violet is stage three in my efforts to get a good purple. She wears Glazeit 23 and Brunswick green leaf with a top down blend of Glazeit 10 and Walker purple. Shoes are Glazeit 10. Hopefully this will produce an adequate colour.
Il-kakatani sports the latest combination of Walker actually-good-green and rocket red. Vaguely christmassy, and microwave / dishwasher safe, Il-kanahadi could be used as a cake topper but would much rather a place among the pansys.
OxoPembridge is the second vase experiment. Slightly smaller they are ideal for single stem blooms. Cobalt blue decorative trim and a slightly Lilly pad hat design make OxoPembridge quite the trendsetter.
Fermicool is another experiment with the Walker purple. Under the purple is a base coat of 20 parts white and one part rocket red. This may be too light a pink but I’m staging up.
The light pink on his boots came out as a really nice shade. I’m going to have to try make an Ombré using staged blends with red I think.
The purple was a bit of a fail. The colour is just too patchy. I think I’ll blend it with a spot of red and quad coat the next trial.
Borrage is an experiment with a base of satin blue, with rutile yellow and a trim of clear gloss. Mustache is rich brown and shoes satin blue with midnight gloss.
Interesting, Borrage was one of the only gnomes to develop kiln blush in his clutch.
Delicate and devilish, Saffron has the new clear glaze over black and rocket red. I am delighted with this result!
Plimbington was inspired by HettaKetta’s flower and thus, the single stems gnome vase was born. First of a new breed, I really hope the clear glaze provides a sufficient seal on the inside.
Gertie knows the classic toxic mushroom hat will always be a winner. Fire truck red with white dots should hopefully score them Best in Garden.
Hettakettaloomp (of the briskeald Loomps) is fully coordinated in their white and cobalt blue hat with mandarin, rocket and redwood floral accent.
Hettaketta was the inspiration for the vase gnome subset.
Zigfried sports a delightful teal green hat with dark accents. His hollow shoes should pond with clear glaze. A bit of a risk taker, his experimental colours are GlazeIt’s 22 and 25 from the 2014 collection.
Add. : I’m so excited these colours came out exactly as they would in previous works. I never knew what temps Glazeit fires at and I lovelove the turquoise colours!
Kiskle-splat is experimenting with a floral hat in citrus and burnt orange. The stem flourish is coloured Victoria green with Brunswick green shading. A set of Victoria green shoes completes this look.
McTosh sports a grand satin white mustache and a satin bright blue hat with satin white texture protected by a clear gloss. His kiln bloom has brought a lot of beautiful colour to his face from the buff clay.
Fabian wears a hat of pale blue, a crest of Gary’s green coated in clear glossy because I prefer the gloss.
