Large matt outlets turquoise flatfish (ceramic)

outlets This guy should lie between your flowers in the garden or terrace - the eye-catcher!
The ceramic fish is of course weatherproof - but not frostproof, so must be brought into the warm in winter.
Size: approx. 19 cm body width, from fin to fin approx. 25 cm.

Procedure: First, I make a ball of clay. She then has to do a little bit more
rest and then ... I start modeling! Then 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.
