WOOT to Wire Sculptures! Unfortunately, that clay skull hasn't come back for me yet.. it's STILL being fired in the kiln. What!?! Dang I hope that's finished soon. Is this the first or second time you've fired it? It's been a while since I've worked with clay, but don't you form it, fire it, paint/glaze it, then fire it again to finish the job? Either way, finished or not, once you get it back you should post some pictures!

Either way, finished or not, once you get it back you should post some pictures! Yeah, you mold it, glaze/paint it with a special paint.. then fire it. Then you put a finishing glaze on it and fire it again. Today at lunch, I'm going into that class and finishing it up, so it can be fired for the last time.. I can't wait to post pics! It's actually the best sculpture I've ever made.. it's pure white with designs inscribed in the back.

I finally found some things of wire to sculpt with! So if anyone wants a wire sculpture, I am now taking orders! I know earlier there was some interest in me selling these things - if anyone wants to get one just pm me and we can figure out the cost of materials/shipping and stuff. Ok.

Oh! Why did your teacher take it back? I hope the firing didn't mess your skull up too bad! Is the glaze just uneven or something? Either way, I can't wait to see the pictures.

It's jsut the glaze that messed up.. it was supposed to be pure white, instead there is yellow glaze dripping (the look of it) off of it. Now that I think of it, I actually do like it. It adds a lot more character and I've gotten a ton of compliments on it.

Dang Radar, that's way cool! Other than the obviously great sculpting, I really like the coloring on that fella.
