Hummingbirds and fuchsia go together like green eggs and ham! I love these little birds ,so tiny and delicate yet incredibly strong in will and so full of personality in such a minute package. We have had them nest in a tree next to our home for the last couple years ,watched them nest build, feed at our fuchsia bushes and fledge their young. A favorite bird. Thanks for looking.
You will receive a tile similar to the one in the photo but not necessarily the one showing, minus all the authentic background props.
This piece is 4 1/2 square and is ready to hang with a drywall screw or a simple nail with a head.
Each tile is handmade here at Stardust Clayworks. First a piece of clay is rolled out into a slab from which I trim out the initial outer tiles dimensions. The cut out tile shape is then set aside to stiffen up . Once it has dried a bit the design is traced or drawn onto the clays surface. The design is then sculpted into the face of the tile. The sculpting usually takes a couple days to complete in between working on other tile designs simultaneously. A plaster mold is then made of this original tile so that duplicates can produced. After a tile comes out of the mold it is stamped on the reverse with our logo and a hanging notch is carved as well. The tile is then set aside to dry completely. Once dry ,color is hand painted using terra sigillatta infused with mason stains. At this point the tile will get a first of two firings. After the first firing , stain and additional surface treatment is applied. The second firing sets the stains and the tile can now be hand buffed using a blend of coconut oil and bees wax.
