Hello people of Steemit! Today I will show you my ceramic panels with a female body figure and a poem.
First, I shape the panels using soft clay, and I etch the words of the poem with a tool on the clay. At the same time, my husband forms the female body with a different piece of clay. If we want the figure to have enamel crevices, we create them too before the clay dries!
Then we bake the two pieces in the oven. The first time in the oven is to dry and harden the clay. After that we add the enamel colours and bake the pieces again.
When the pieces are ready, I glue the figure on the panel with a special glue similar to silicon. I add a little bit of gold leaves around the frame, and the panel is ready to hang on the wall!
