This is another of my Pounce discoveries. I saw this plate and had to see more!



It's made by Megan, who is an undergrad in Creative Writing at Southern Illinois University. When asked about how she got into making the plates she said, "I got the general idea for the plates from Mark Montano's book The Big-Ass Book of Crafts (which I bought almost solely for its title). When I had a hard time creating exactly what was in the book, I improvised. The process is pretty simple, and involves mostly spray paint and sealant. The hardest part, believe it or not, is finding clear glass plates. "

After college, Megan plans to get a MA or MFA and pursue a career in writing while teaching literature and writing at the college level. She isn't currently taking any art classes, but she would love to eventually get some sort of degree in art involving ceramics or textiles. That's a lot of schooling (and tuition), so go check out her Etsy store and give her a little "financial aid"!
