This is definitely the start of something. It was a plate destined for “the hand” but I am missing a vital component for that one, so now it’s the Dyson Queen, my one true, non-living love. Never, in the history of KS pots has Deidre Dyson gone onto a plate before, this is very exciting for me. Shown here with just the black slip outline, very thinly applied to begin with, the dish is about 10 inches at the widest point.
A shocking amount of rain today and no electric AGAIN for at least an hour! More mud at the bottom of the hill to sweep up, so I am very glad I didn’t do it last week.

Hi Kitty,
Good morning, evening, or whatever it is! Some ghastly hour of the morning here, birds screeching out what they take to be a dawn chorus, pitch black and raining, although the weather gurus promised us a fine day. Obviously the camel entrails that they use to determine what the weather will be here were reading a bit off!
What fun to see a Dyson Queen so glorified. Interesting to see the beginnings of the decoration process. I have been meaning to ask if you have to keep the work damp for days on end until all the decoration is complete, or are you using a slip that is cleverly formulated to allow you to decorate on dry ware?
The comment moderation word for this was partiono, which sounds rather like an extract from a conversation in which a comic Englishman loudly explains to an Italian hair dresser where the parting should go!
When I move if I need a vacume I will have to get a Dyson, you rave so about them. Can't wait to see this new plate finished.
Peter I LOVE your definition of partiono, it is going to be tomorrows word on verification vocabulary. Check out suslyzin just posted by Jess on the other side!
Sorry Peter I didn't answer your question. Slip is just run of the mill and the plate is leather hard. No mirrors or smoke was used in the making of this plate.
You lucky girl .. .
your very own Dyson!
Alas - that's one queen which is still on my Wish List.
Love the plate de Dyson . So very Clever, as always.
I must admit, I've never seen 84 C.C.
but will look for it.
