Astrologic Signs

Last weeks I was orienting myself on doing astrologic signs.I have in progress some study tiles and pendants.It seems a lot of work to design and to work out the 12 signs.Colours and symbols have to be right for every sign.

Some first test results;the small tile is in the greenware stage,the pendants are painted with a reliefpaste and are waiting for another firing.

'Plastic Surgery'

Starting the new year with a new head;

After firing I wasn't happy with the rooster's head.So I carved another clayhead.'The spare part head' would stick to the glaze of the piece after firing again,so I don't have to throw away the piece.The cat also obtain another head already in the greenware stage.

Christmas Tree Pendants

Sometimes it is hard to try and find Christmas gifts for some people.Lucky me, my family is not too picky,so I can give tree pendants this year.

The two above pictures are in progress,I carve my small greenware pieces with a needle in a 'gel' of glaze glue.With the glue it is also possible to 'etch' area's of liquid casting clay.I ám happy with the etching results.

I wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or a Happy whatever you are celebrating at this time of year...

Ceramic Puzzles

Beside for jewelry the small stones with relief and painting textures, can also be used for mosaic patterns.A few examples of small installations;3 clowns and a horse carriage.

Space flight for All

Happy chickens need space,so raising space chickens on the moon could be a good solution.Further mice and music in space.
