Let me know if you require 6 tiles with a letter per tile or do you want six tiles each with the word LIEFDE engraved on it? Provide me with a deadline and approximate size you want the tile made and I shall process the quote for you. Yes, it is possible.

The Richtersveld with all it has to offer portrayed in your work. This will be a winner. A wonderful way to make people aware of the Namas and their culture, that somehow, like ceramics survived the times. I'm sure you will be coming back bursting with enthousiasm and new ideas.

We plan to visit the Richtersveld soon and will be documenting the Namas and their culture of dance and storytelling, hoping that this might be the stimulus to capture a time in history that will soon be lost to all! Ceramics are the agent that best survived the times, and as such give us modern societies a look at times long lost.

The owners compliments were certainly not out of place. You once again produced work of the highest quality. The way of life then, the peace and quite and the balance between the beautiful nature and the peoples daily lives are so well portrayed. With two panels like this to "walk into" everytime you look at them one would surely be able to experience and feel that same peace and quietness in the midst of our own hectic present day lifes. ‘We are sure you all had to dig deep and work very hard to come up with these two very unusual and interesting panels.
