MIEKE, A B C NUMBER 2

At first I wanted to make the second alphabet totally different. and thought of using photographs. But in the end I stuck with clay again. Although I will still use photo's as a reference.


So here we go first my photo's of the fruit.




Here are my little tiles still in the green ware stage, I will use stoneware clay this time for all my tiles to give it a better unity.

 I have applied the underglaze colours which hopefully come out a bit brighter wen fired and glazed.
But from experience my hopes are high!
It will be a challenge as well to find all the fruits I need and will use vegetables if needed.

I guess z for zucchini will be helpful then! The tiles have a great 3-D effect.
