This is my small planter, about 5 inches wide and 4.5 inches tall. I glazed this planted by brushing scrap glaze over the leaf etchings, and then scrubbing the excess to uncover the green shape of the leaf. I also brushed scrap glaze along the inside of the base rim and the inside of the pot. During this project I learned that it is much better to do your best wth glazing on the first try, rather than having to go back and put glaze over glaze and refire it- t took me several times through the glaze kiln with scrap glaze to get the depth of green where I wanted it. The line and color of green on the leaf etchings and the base of the planter establish proportion and unity in the project. I hope that this planter reminds one of nature and the power of plants.
