Making a commission..

We may have mentioned before that we love commissions. We don’t always say ‘yes’ as sometimes it really doesn’t fit what we do but often we can say ‘yes’. It takes a lot of extra work as we to and fro about design and thoughts and colours and ideas..

Here is a slab of clay.. Not very exciting but watch this space for development. This will become a panel of three pieces, that will be framed together. There are the client’s chosen lines from Chris’s poetry, a wise old tree and some slender trees around it, some birds swooping, a river sweeping beneath the words..

The clay is currently stretched out on some canvas in order to dry. That makes it easier to put the lettering in and to draw into the clay without lumps causing issues in the pattern. Patience is a virtue..
