Three new birds

Here are some new birdy tiles I've been working on. These tiles were bisque fired and then I drew on them with a special pencil that won't burn off in the kiln. I covered them with glaze right after I photographed them here and they are in the kiln firing as I type this. So hopefully I'll have the finished birds to show you very soon.
The one in the center has a yellow discoloration from the water I washed it with. I'm not really sure why this happens to only some of them but it will burn off when it's fired.

  1. These are so lovely Laura. How amazing that the pencil stays on during firing. I've been wanting to draw birds for a long time but have never yet managed to draw one to my satisfaction!
