hangings
The hangings are handmade of press moulded porcelain, earthenware and stoneware clay. After being bisque fired to 1000C the ceramic is brush glazed. The earthenware is glaze fired to 1060 C, whereas the porcelain and stoneware pieces are glaze fired to 1260 C. The pieces are arranged with beads and thread on fishing wire.
Both the hangings and the mobiles are OK to hang outdoors but as a general rule they should be taken indoors over winter. They are stronger than they look but doesn't like a too windy spot.
mobiles
The mobiles are made in the same way as the hangings. The difference is that the clay leaves are hung from a thin metal disc. This arrangement spreads the pieces and creates an interesting play of shadow and movement.
The mobiles are available in three different sizes; small, medium and large. The large mobile is a combination of the three sizes. A light source can be added to any of the sizes to create a beautiful chandelier.
If you would like a mobile in another combination of colours than the ones displayed on these images, please contact karin@karineriksson.se.
