I made this oval dish. I used a plaster mould, stoneware clay, pressed the rolled clay into the mould with a sponge to get a textured finish, pressed 2 feathers into the clay, it was fired and then I added the copper oxide in the same way mags used on her spruce......because the feathers are burned out in the kiln you get a really detailed imprint. It was glazed with clear and fired again. its a gift for my brother in law and his partner.
