| Developing a new product range |
As I have been collecting them for a while (much to my family's amusement!), I decided it was time to use them. Playing around with off cuts of clay and coloured slip resulted in small circular discs which fit neatly inside the bottle tops. Once bisque fired, I glazed the discs and then fired them for a third time with a ceramic decal. After a bit of fiddly and frustrating drilling (the drill bit kept slipping off the curved surface of the metal. Grrr!) and the addition of an ‘O’ ring, I found that I had created a rather lovely upcycled bottle top and ceramic pendant necklace. They’re still at the prototype stage but I hope to stock them in my online shops from January 2014.
