4.75" diameter

$ 550.00

Madeline Naranjo creates beautifully carved and polished pottery.  Each piece is pinch-built, carved, stone-polished, and traditionally fired.  This is part of a series of tiles that are made from native clay, carved, polished, and traditionally fired.  Tiles are difficult to make, as they tend to crack in drying and firing. However, for Madeline, they are the perfect form to tell a story!  This tile is entitled, “Resting”.  It has a round shape and there are carved flower petals.  In the center is a carved and polished butterfly.  There are etched designs on each petal.  It is a combination of matte and polished areas. Her matte areas are sanded and perfectly smooth ,so there are no indentations or areas where the matte might make a shadow.  Her designs are always innovative and beautifully executed.  The tile is signed, “Madeline Naranjo”.
