A lady who lost her dd in a car crash was after a tile to put on a brick on the path for her daughter's memorial garden - when her dd died she took cuttings of her herbs and planted a herb garden at her own home as a memorial.
She had painted her dds name on a brick but wanted a proper ceramic tile .
I started ceramics a few months ago and I saw her appeal - so I've made her two tiles she can cement to the brick on the path for her daughters garden .
Her dd was an artist and signed her work a specific way so I've use that font (had to do it freehand and I've discovered I could be a forger !)
I've made her two tiles so when one wears out she has a spare .
I'm very pleased with them and hope she will be too . They are currently in the kiln but next week I'll be glazing them (using oxides to make it look like terracotta and then glazing her name into the script I've used to make it stand out )
She had been quoted stupid amounts to do this by potters but since I'm learning I've done them for free . I hope
She likes the finishes result ! I'll post pics when they're finished !
