Riding on a swing, a whimsical yellow chicken is depicted among green leaves against a blue background. Mexican artisan Maria Isabel Cruz creates this piece of ceramic wall art in the centuries-old style known as the dry rope technique, in which a wax mixture made of magnesium oxide and fat are applied to the outlines of the image or motif prior to glazing. The wax mixture creates a barrier that keeps the different fill colors in the design separate during firing, before burning off to reveal the blackened ceramic beneath.

I love this whimsical swinging chicken. It is one of eight of Marias artworks that I am using to create an art grouping. I love them all - such fun animal characters! Many thanks to Maria and Novica!
