Inlaid Polymer Tiles in Rainbow Design
( A tutorial on how these tiles were made, is in the preceding post.)
This bottle is the first inlaid tile piece I made that I am really happy with. It is fiddly work but I think it is well worth the effort.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I cut curved shapes from a rainbow design to test size and shape on the bottle. I knew this project was going to be a lot of work and I didn't want to begin without having a plan. You know the old saying, "If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail". ^^
I then taped the paper pattern to the bottle to see how the design would look.
These are the colors I chose that would be closest to the rainbow design. (How the tiles were made is explained in the preceding tutorial, Inlaid Tiles)
Using the patterns, I cut out shapes from white translucent clay that was rolled on #5 on my pasta machine and arranged them on the bottle.
This is the beginning of the tile adding process.
The tiles range from 1/8" to 5/8" in length and 16" to 1/8" in width.
In this video, you can see the bottle all the way around.
