This design very nearly made the cutting room floor in my recent re-assessment of things. But I'm just too fond of the driver.... a bit Monsieur Hulot meets Mr Magoo.
The main problem with it is that it usually requires two firings in the kiln - the black of the tyres often has lighter patches with only one firing, so needs to be touched-up and fired again. I guess I should investigate the possibility of using kiln-firable glass transfers for certain designs, but then it begs the question, why not use them for all the designs? Hmm, but where would be the fun in that...?
Are you going to struggle to cut some designs I wonder? I imagine it must be hard to lose things that you have lovingly designed. I feel for you. Good luck.
