Ceramic Fig Leaf Handmade Realistic Greek Summer Decoration - 1 Pc Country Home

The trip of every ceramic fruit I make, begins when a piece of earth-ware gets wrapped in my hands (without the use of mold). in the creative process the other protagonists are the 4 elements (Terra, Air, Fire, Water). I shape the water & the earth & let it dry naturally in the air before bake it (1040C F 1832) & let the fire make it hard & durable. The process in order to acceive realistic colors & look, requires observation, personal research & experimenting. Last but not least comes the glaze which gives the final touch of vitality before its last contact with the fire (F 1796 - 980C). I get inspired by nature around me, with the colors alternating through their times from the mystery that the fruits hide & their journey through time from one end of the earth to another. To make my fruits & nuts look realistic as they were in nature was a real challenge for me. in their skin hide incredible colors that they gain throughout their life on the branch. All the fruits I make are realistic with their own story & their own symbolism. We can offer them as a unique & impressive gift, but at the same time very personal which will come to accompany our transformations in every occasion & moment of our lives.
