Working with other artists is so much fun. This raised relief image is from a graphic artist called Gill Bleach. Hand made tile with raised relief image and black glaze and gilding. -

This is test piece for some tribute tiles. Might rename this "what Lemmy didn't do" -

This is a great project for a museum I was lucky enough to work on. They wanted a poem put onto a 8x8in tile with raised lettering so people could take rubbing from it. This was the test piece about 6x6in. The underglaze is meant to look like soot. -

Another sample of raised lettering. Wanted to see how fine I could get the rext but still look sharp. This tile is 4x6in . The quote is from one of a fantastic American psychobilly band The Cramps. It inspired a set of street art tiles with spoken intros of songs. -

Playing around with some raised lettering on a 6x6in tile. The saying is Liverpool slang for getting divorced. Going to be part of a set of street art. Fun to do. -

My first attempt at putting portraits on clay. First image had to be Bowie. It's an ongoing process -
Hi Glazenerd Nothing so complex. I just glazed first then rough gold leaf around the edges then when brused back I just added the wax that didn't stick to the glaze or gold leaf. A really simple technique. With gold leaf being so cheap it's fun to play with. -

Glazed, gold leaf and wax finish. Needs some work but moving in the right direction -

Needs a bit of a clean up but happy I'm getting much clearer results by gilding the tile after glazing. Next step is to try gold leaf -

Practicing uniformity. Not washing the underglaze back as much with these . -

As advised by the forum, underglazed and washed back. Much better detail. Thanks everyone -

Some glazed tiles out the kiln. Nearly there, if I brush Bach the haze a bit more on the raised design it should pop out a bit more. -
That's brilliant. You have a good eye and some steady hands. Top work. -

Some people have asked about cutting stamps with a laser cutter. This one I've just done for someone in wood but it works just a well on flexible rubber so you can mold around curves. Cost about 10p and took 10 mins. -

Old victorian block prints seem to work really well. Just etched them a little deeper so they stand out a bit more. -

Laser cut test tile. Checking that fine lines stay straight.
