The Orange Crusher (best frenemies)

This plate is based on my sister's cats and their best frenemy, The Orange Crusher.

Jerry (top) and Jesse (right) are littermates adopted from the APL.

The Orange Crusher is a freshwater angelfish. He was about the size of a 50-cent coin when he was first purchased.

Sadly, The Orange Crusher is no longer with us. But the kitties are just fine and finding new ways to cause trouble. Some process work for the plate is below:

The painted plate, just before firing. I use Amaco Velvet Underglazes.
