Umm So how about I make you a Ceramic platter.. suitable for putting cheese and biscuits and stuff on.. A one off Original 'frogpondsrock' handmade ceramic platter..Made by me??? What do you reckon? Would you like that? Would you? Would you? Or if you don't umm you are obviously on the wrong page :)


So to Enter... All you have to do is leave a comment here on my blog telling me your two favourite colours.. and I will use these two colours when I glaze the platter.. how easy is that..WOW I wish that I had thought of this myself.. I will use a random number generator thingy to draw the prize as well..

TWO favourite colours?? I have to pick only TWO out of the many colours I love? Oh okay.........let's see.......burgundy and forest green. No wait....cream and gold. Or, hang on, butter yellow with cobalt blue. Dang it all, I can't choose. You choose. If it helps at all I have a kitchen cabinet painted in lemon cheesecake yellow with strawberry pink door frames on top, aqua doors in the middle, lavender doors at the bottom and all the drawers are sky blue. sounds odd, but looks great.
