Ayyy another not-terrible thing! I’m so glad I took notes on what all I did on this one. Mostly this was A Science on how to do decent stencils - I put down black underglaze in the first step, but unfortunately the adhesive on the back of the stencil pulled it up in undesirable ways. LEARNINGS!!

I’m definitely coming to the conclusion that underglaze and adhesive stencils don’t play well together. I still need to try underglaze on greenware and see how that works with using a stencil after bisque firing. Or try a different stencil material, maybe one with less enthusiastic adhesive.

A screenshot of a text note, reading: Butterfly - black underglaze - apply stencil - wipe away around stencil - orange wing spots - clear glaze over orange - wax over glaze (orange) - full dip white - remove stencil - full dip clear
A photograph of the inside of a ceramic bowl, glazed in white with a stenciled monarch butterfly in the center. There’s are several places on the butterfly where the black line work is broken up - this is where the adhesive stencil pulled the powdery underglaze off the bowl. Aside from that, though, this turned out better than I expected! There’s some bits where the glaze pooled a little too aggressively and got a bit hazy and fuzzed some of the line work, but most of the demarcations between colors are pretty sharp.
A picture of the side of the bowl. There’s a few spots where there are small pinprick bubbles in the glaze, and an odd dark grey streak that looks almost like a pencil line at the top edge. I need to ask my teacher what that’s all about (or maybe one of you kind mastodonians know?)
A photograph of the bowl pre-firing. You can barely see where the butterfly is from the glaze being slightly depressed along the black line work, and there are a few spots where you can see the green wax that I painted over the orange spots on the wings to mask them off.

“They’re shredding the #Constitution; it’s gone,” said Kimberly Wehle, #law professor at University of Baltimore Law School, legal contributor for #ABC News author of the newsletter Simple Politics told me. “He’s converting himself into #monarch w unlimited #power.” Kim Lane Scheppele, Princeton prof who studies rise, fall of constitutional government. “We are so far past the constitutional crisis, and now we’re into ‘All the lights are flashing..I don’t think people realize how bad things are.”

Welp, here is a random photo of the finished milkweed and monarch.

I am very happy to have this piece behind me, but I feel ambivalent about its appearance, atm. Perhaps I just feel brain dead but at least I don't hate it (yet).

I will probably touch it up somewhat, but I looks fine. It's much more radiant IRL but I can't seem to capture the colors in a file.

Cameras do not like contrasting color juxtapositions, it seems. This photo reminds me of so many other photographs, especially of grid pieces, that look like their made of maybe ten colors, but when seen IRL it's obvious there are so many more.

And the brain performs a plethora of brain tricks too, some known and some unknown, and I can never be sure which is which.

Anyway, part of the idea was to hide the subject matter too, and keep the piece in the abstract genre.

Half disappearing monarch, half disappearing art, half disappearing observer.

@rayhindle Done - and I've just realised I posted this photo twice, once with the caption of the photo that should have gone there, which, oddly, is the one I just corrected.
I think.🥱
So...

On This Day 8th February 2014.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane has a purple belly and engine pods, and a bright yellow rear fuselage and tail with a stylised crown that resembles an upper-case letter "M". A smaller version of that logo appears on the yellow up-turned wingtips, as well as on the forward fuselage, where it is followed by large purple "Monarch" titles. Lush green grass fills the foreground at the bottom of the frame, with more grassed areas marking the edges of taxiways and a runway in the background, leading up to trees on the skyline, under layers of grey cloudy sky.
