During my time on Homage For Books I have looked at quotations in books that I would like to use in my work. I have come out with a lot of different quotes that I like but there was one I really like.
*[ My tutor Ben was creating a card for someone who was leavning and he told me the quote he wanted to use on his card. It was Peter Pan's quotation. Hearing that I  like it so I decided to look it up. The quotation is! '' Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting.'' so then I took the quote and play around with it. I use letter ink on big sheets on paper and design around it what I wanted to acheve. I thought about put it into graphic and textile but i have used this method of working before.. So I play around using clay with one quotes from books. I then decided to use clay.
This is my clay idea. I firstly rolled out a bit of clay to do this is used a rolling pin and gides to help the clay stay the same shape all the way around.  I smoothed the top of the clay useing a kidney tool. to create the letter in the clay I used a letter stamp that presses into the clay. I then decided that it would be nice as a wall handing to give to a love one or a friend that is going away. So I put tewo holes in the top and when it is glases I will put ribow though the holes.
Plan.Glasing = Blue, Brown, White/Clear glase.
Underglade ?
Luster = Brown.
My theme colours are brown black and pink. I have mostly used brown and black.
This clay design will be one of my final outcomes beside many more of my designs.

I think this clay piece is a success, I like the idea of a quote from and book along side a wall hanging.
I like the quote, the letter stamps and the way it has been layed out.
The only problem was that it wasnt straight all around the edges but I know what to do on my other design.
