And an Alsacian Miku for @trashlord-watson !

Alsace is a region at the est of France, bordering Germany, and that's where Sauerkraut (choucroute) comes from ! Also the traditional costume includes a big bow in the hair which I... adapted ❤️

So now I have a *bunch* of sgraffitoed medaillons. Here are all of my bird-themed and sea-themed medaillons patterns, and some variations within what I count as the same pattern. The small ones are for earrings.

Also in case anyone is European, I'll be at a ceramics market in Alsace / Elsass, in Soufflenheim (at the Halle Municipale), on the 17 and 18 of august, where I'll be selling those (among other things)

Crossing the Rhine via the Wintersdorf bridge: a former railway bridge that might be reactivated in the 2030s but for now is used by cars (by an amazing coincidence on the day of my visit it was closed for cars due to roadworks in Germany - and I got extra lucky as it was the very last day of the closure).
