Deb, Wow, you have a lot of time on your hands! You could ALSO print
out photos of assorted porcelain ware patterns from your printer (using
your digital camera and porcelain ware), on glossy paper, which would
be thick enough and glossy enough to save several steps and would also
look like the real thing. I haven't tried this suggestion, but I may
do it next semester in the classroom, thanks for the idea ! In my
studio classes, we use the real stuff.
