3 Sisters....

Well.. I am done creating the girls...
These chicks are about 24 inches tall give or take so we shall see what happens as they shrink... but they had to FIT IN THE KILN....
This is a commission and my buyer wants to see how some glaze ideas I have will work on it...
The real deal is she would have loved wood fired pieces... But that ain't happnin' so...
I am going to try out some sprinkling of color on some small pieces I still have to carve a little...
Using glaze.... the clay is tan...standard 225... which I like, alone... but hopefully I can achieve something she likes.... I have some ideas...


I am also thinking a lot about pinching clay again... frankly I really like to mix up my techniques.
Bothe creatively and physically it feels good to switch around a bit especially when the thumb or brain starts to go numb and tingly...
