Starting summer vacation a bit early

While my summer break doesn't actually start until June 1, I started working on some projects. I'm going to finish my next SR for Lakeshore by the end of June and do some slab-building of bas relief tiles ala the four seasons.

Here is the first tile in all its muddy glory. It's made out of low fire white clay and about 4 x 4 inches in size. Once it dries to leather hardness I will straffito more detail into it and clean it up. Then it will be dried fully, bisque fired, and glazed. I'm looking at producing 4 sets of 4 in different colors, each season being a different style.
