Thank you both for your kind words. I haven't been back to Deviant nearly since the time I posted my gallery; I couldn't remember my user name, so couldn't find my password. sigh

The pots are decorated using a tiny brush, and a very basic 50/50 combination of gerstley borate, and borax along with 2% silver nitrate. The silver oxidizes quite quickly in light, and turns the glaze dark gray. The pots, having already been bisque fired to a sort of fleshy pinky color make an easy background on which to see the glaze as I paint. The orchids are painted from life. As I turn the pot, I also turn the plant so as to paint it from different angles.
