Mosiac in Progress(2)

Further update;I have glued all the particles of the pink fish minimural, to a piece of plywood.With a figure saw I made that the plywood fits all the rounds of the ceramic design.I consider this piece now near ready.

With some of the upper small ceramic figures of 'the circus earth piece' I used blue foam behind the thin figures,to support.After the blue foam is again plywood for further support.With a hot wire the foam is made fit around the piece.I ám enthousiastic of working with the foam,a lot of forms are possible, it is very light weighted,and it allows working with very thin ceramic figures.

The small ceramic figures are drying very quick and they can be fired after a few hours!

Changes

I have show the Dakota plane and the other plane before,but now they are added to this mural;industrial age.As long as they are not fixed with glaze or glue I can change the small pieces to other tiles or murals.Only when I sell the image I glued or glaze the parts together(if not missing,lol)

Tiles with Text

I like to more do more with text in my ceramics. For example a saying;The economy turns better then the earth,or something about global warming.

On Cruise at the Staycation

On the first day of my staycation I painted a cruise ship with biscuit porcelainslip.Beside all kind of facilities there is also a pottery on the ship.After some thin washes with the slip I did some quick impastos with thick slip.

Vacation versus Staycation

I think I ám in for a short vacation.With a boring book time would past slow and so it has the same effect as a long vacation with a lot of action.A staycation at home is also healthy recent psychological studies has shown.

I ám in the middle of fishes and seahorses and blue seas today.Guess where? At a staycation in my own stone mine.
