Bampton Swifts take shape

.The painted pieces have come out of kiln nice and black and shiny. I have checked the balance of the design by sticking the pieces on a glass easel with bits of plasticine, and holding it up to the light. Now they are all ready to be leaded and soldered, to create a hanging panel.

This is the reverse, so you can see the roughness of the paint where it is thicker. All I need to do now is the really messy bit - cementing.
