| Here is a photo of three house ornaments, approximately business card size, made from clay and fired in the true ceramic process. (The quarter is for size reference) With care they will last virtually forever. Here is how I make them: |
|
| First I make a drawing of the house's outline then cut it out of card stock slightly larger than I want the ornament. Clay shrinks up to 14% while drying, depending on the clay you use. I place it on top of a rolled slab of clay, then cut around it. |
| This is the clay slab that, when dry, I paint all the tiny details that make your house your own. I fire it once, cover with clear gloss glaze and fire it again. I tie nylon string or ribbon through the hole and there it is! |
