Super cheerful ceramic fish, lovingly and with great fun pottered by hand. In this combination - a real eye-catcher and splash of color in your garden!
The puffer fish has a width (from fin to fin) of about 16 cm. The elongated fish is about 24 cm long. The ceramic elements are together about 35 cm high.
The rod is not included in the scope of delivery. But you can get them in every hardware store.
But I put a locking buy screw to it so that the parts are held down.
The Steele must be brought warm in winter, as it is weatherproof but not frost resistant.
Procedure: First, I make a ball of clay, which I process until it is flat and corresponds to the desired shape.
She has to rest a bit afterwards and then ... I start modeling! Now comes the most beautiful part of my work, then the fish are created,
Birds or ladybugs. Now the eye area (very important) and the remaining elements that contribute to the fact that
the fish has a harmonious radiance. After a further drying time of about 2 weeks, the fish comes into the oven and is at
950 °C for the first time. Now I have to think about what color I want to paint my animal in. The
I buy glaze paints in powder form and then mix them with water, so that in the right mixing ratio, a
somewhat viscous mass is created, with which the clay is painted. It takes some time until you get the glazes correctly
because not every glaze works the same. One runs easily and forms tears. Most
others, on the other hand, are stable in their application area, so they do not run - even if you sometimes want to.
One color is easy to apply evenly, the next is always stained! It has to be said that I mean
Can not immerse critters in paint - this is also a common procedure - but apply the paint with a brush.
Diving is not possible because I have to work on too many corners and curves and also use so many colors -
this only works with a brush. When the fish is finished glazed, it is put back in the oven at 1050 °C.
