Textured plaque


A textured peice for my Daughter, we found a snake in our grass last summer and she loved him so much (grass snake) she wanted to keep him. I wouldn't let her so uncorporated this into her plaque. One day if we ever own our own house again I will hang it on her door.
Its made of DTS (a fairly groggy stoneware), the base peice was heavily textured with a texture roller, then another peice was textured with a plastic toy wheel, this was cut into the letters, everything else was done with mdeling tools. The darkness is Copper oxide - which is rubbed all over the palces where texture is desired, then wiped off the places where it isn't - making the texture jump out a bit more.
