Holiday Creations Art Elements Blog Hop
2 min read
About the time I uncovered the theme for this month’s Art Components blog site hop: Holiday break Creations, I was preparing to make a set of kitty cat themed ornaments for a tree for our ageing cat. We have a new glassed in entrance porch and imagined it would be a excellent way to decorate it for the Holiday seasons. And for ceramic ornaments, it would be protected from the factors.
For the very last number of a long time we have been having an out of doors tree as a substitute on one particular inside of. We have it out on the deck and adorn it with brightly coloured netted hen treats. It is so enjoyable watching the birds flutter close to the tree and peck at these “household baked” goodies of birdseed and peanut butter. So this calendar year we have 2 Christmas trees.
For our kitty cat tree, I employed cat formed cutters to slash out the decorations.
They seemed quite big at to start with but my clay shrinks about 11 % so they appeared substantially better the moment they were being bisque fired.
I made use of two methods to provide my cat decorations to life. For some I silk screened on cat drawings (Mayco silkscreens) bisqued them and then added shade
and for some others I did some drawing into the clay. They dried actually immediately so by the time I bought to them to scratch in some strains, the incisions were being not extremely deep. To increase them I utilized a black underglaze and then wiped it off, bisque fired them
and then hand painted on glazes and fired those people to cone 5 ( above 2100 levels F)
At last I adorned the tree.
