Pottery with leaves...

[schizo319]

These are the pieces I've been working on this summer. I am a bit leaf obsessed...
I started with leaves out of my garden zucchini, squash and cucumber specifically -






Then I moved on to using smaller more varied leaves with slip on the background:








And finally the most adventurous pieces to date.

I had a larger version of this one, but it fell apart because it dried unevenly.



This is my favorite so far, I blended 3 different shades of stoneware clay on this one.

Leaves and pottery just seem to go together so well. The vase is lovely, but I must admit a great fondness for ferns.

Your work is absolutely realistic looking and beautiful!

Beautifully well done pieces, and it is great you used real leaves to create the piece. Also like that you used earth tones for the glazes.
