Springboards

The Springboard
This is a length of beautiful indigo batik.
I lusted after this fabric, but it was extremely expensive.
I kept the jpg.
I made a little palmetto shaped tile with a raised rim on one side. It sat around in the studio for a while. I put it in with a bisque firing, still not knowing what I would do with it.
Then
I got out some deep blue underglaze to trim some bowls.
I got a sharp pencil, printed off the jpg. Used the design as a springboard to decorate the tile.
Voila
