BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Self made ceramic tile in honour of Moriarty

My second tile I made from clay.
Letters are carved and after firing I added a bit colour and wax.
Thanks to Tobe and Susi for their advice!

The great artisans say: "The more Mattlocked's tile is worked upon the more beautiful it becomes..."
It looks truly wonderful now - congrats!

Thanks!
I posted it (without comment) at my ceramic-forum, too. Just to check, if maybe someone recognises something...... I guess it's hopeless though.

That's amazing, Mattlocked! How long did it take you to make??

Thanks Susi and Molly!
It took about six hours "net". Three for preparing the clay and carving the letters - letting dry, then bringing them to my "firing service" - and about three hours for painting and polishing.

It's brilliant! Consider this forum as your new ceramic forum.

Mattlocked, Your works are absolutely brilliant.

That's really good! Actually, on second thought, all of your ceramics are great!
