Heat in forge, pound flatter, make platters?
The colours are problematic as they are quite obviously just the one thing, a traffic light. Not really artsy in my view ;) Utilitarian instead.

I like your ambition. Good luck with that, and post if you ever do get around to your projects. Any local art schools/groups? They'd love you for sharing your hoard!

The colors are very nice, though.
The red is a true ruby red, the yellow is a butterscotch amber, and the green is actually teal. They're 12" diameter and 8" diameter.

I've seen them slumped in a kiln to make dishes, but really wanted to do something different with them. I can cut them with a tile saw, but as mentioned that takes ages and is messy besides.

The one really cool thing I got from that traffic light diving binge was a series of fresnel lenses. They're plastic, which makes them useless from making something out of them, but they can magnify and concentrate sunlight enough to make leaves spontaneously combust!
