I saw this posted on Facebook and it inspired me to paint some new designs on plates with pretty borders.

New border pattern
I realised when I had made this plate, it wasn't too far away from a design I painted a couple of years ago, a pattern I had named "vintage wallpaper" - which, by completely coincidence, the Queen of modern day ceramics - Emma Bridgewater - a pottery designer I greatly admire - has recently brought out a pattern of the same name!

My original "vintage wallpaper" pattern

I've yet to name the "arrow" pattern, my friend thinks it's like an optical illusion, but I am stuck - any suggestions to name this pattern are more than welcome, if I think it's a good match and you don't mind me using it, there's a big Cheese or Cake plate in it for you!

I've been a busy bee in my workshop, definitely making up for lost time! I have posted some pics of all my latest pieces including some brand new designs on Facebook  - please take a look via this link :)
