Cleaning The Cruddies Off The Tiles


I cleaned the cruddies off the tiles I made last week. I'll be pouring plaster on these later this week. Note to self: incised lines make for lots of cruddies.

I like the organic feel of your work Deb! Here is a tip to abolish those cruddies from inscised designs. Lay thin plastic over the damp clay and etch the design through that using a ball tipped stylus tool. Lift off the plastic and voila - no cruddies. Note, this technique won't suffice for deep or wide channels but is great for "drawing" on the surface of the clay.
