I was commissioned to make a plate festooned with a picture of The Girls by the same guys I made these hats for. The Girls, in case you couldn’t tell, are guinea pigs.
I made drawings in Procreate from some pictures the boys sent me and transferred them to the plates.
I’m working on terracotta with slips and underglazes.
The pigs in outline.
I was really getting into it before I remembered that I know bupkis about painting fur, much less Guinea Pig fur. Still, I persisted.
I have a backup plate in case the first one doesn’t survive the glaze firing. We’ll see!
