fish plate
April 16, 2025

for the pink cake i wanted to make a plate to display it on. so might as well do something of the fine china porcelain. got plenty of blues and white.

also this is too short of photos to deal with categorizing them in wips and gallery. its gonna be all in one go.

1. color pile 2. tile base 3. star shape

making the plate larger than it need to be initially, because of factoring the shrinkage.
making the back decoration first. just keeping things symetrical.

4. border half 5. fish dry 6. fish wet

and then the front decoration. fish motif is always a classic. gotta be careful i dont move the details as im spraying water and rolling.

7. wetting 8. rolling 9. shrunk

yeah. ... the next part is gonna be a doozy...

10. rim chunk 11. rim roll 12. rim half

so here i thought about adding a rim onto the plate, because plates arent just. flat. yknow? theres that border to keep food from rolling off.

13. rim on 14. rim thin 15. roll wet

but then realized adding the rim is proven dificult and i dont wanna deal with that shit. catch myself when im still humble and not a fool.

so fuck it its a good time as any to call it done here.

16. front 17. back

18. hand 19. ruler

20. cake side 21. cake left 22. cake right

scraps

damn scraps. ill use for later.

stabs

7 stabs. completely unnnecessary. could have literally just done with wetting. shrugs.
