I’ve been inspecting photos for my forthcoming October Changing Seasons post. What this has revealed is that October has been busy, busy, busy. Aggghhh. No wonder I am exhausted. So I am giving you an off-the-shelf post today, My Mondrian Madness. I love the gleam and sparkle of ceramic tiles. They cannot be beaten for lustre. Here it is.
Looks simple but every piece of tile is shaped by hand. I’ve also made a yellow version.
Gotta run.
Kind Regards.
Tracy

Did you make this? I love it!

Yes, I did. But I feel guilty resting on my laurels because I haven’t finished a single piece since spring sprung. They are a bit of a pain in the neck. Literally.

Amazingly intricate and fiddly, Tracy. It looks very effective. I hope you show the yellow one as well.

Thank you, Margaret. Not talent. It is just hard work. And a lot of swearing. 🙂

It’s beautiful Tracy. I’m impressed (and not convinced at all by your “no talent” line).
And you’ve reminded me I need to get myself sorted for The Changing Seasons. I’ll be away from Sunday so I’d better get a move on!!

Thank you, Su. That is very nice of you to say anyway. And yes, get a move on. 🙂 I’ve finished mine. I’ve got a head cold (you know how it is), so I had to stay put.
Have a safe trip.

Wonderful piece of art, Tracy! And you’re so right, ceramic is just so beautiful! And each of these handformed? My, that takes some patience! I’m about to form a chess set from clay, and it will be quite a task since the according pieces should be all the same height etc. Will see how it goes! 😁

You’re so right about it being difficult, Tracy!! Just finished the first 3 pieces – little mice as the theme is going to be forest animals. 😊
