It still needs some cleaning up and grinding, but I am just so excited it survived! After I finish cleaning the plaster off and grinding, I will put a frosted finish on it to dull the color some. I'm eager to sit it next to my doll sculpture. She also survived a kiln firing this week and I am hoping to glaze her after a few tests.
This week was a very overwhelming for me, so I took a break to throw on the wheel. I threw some vase forms and a teapot. I'm going to use them to explore textures.
I love the color, I almost don't want to see you frost it! Is this solid glass?
ReplyDeleteIt is solid! I feel like the frosting will help the details show up a little bit better. I had some clay and plaster lodge itself in the glass, so I gotta do a LOT of grinding. I love glass, but it is way more labor intensive than ceramic with much less output! Worth it though.
ReplyDeleteSolid?!?! Oh man no wonder you had it cool forever. Well it looks great, really interested to see how it all comes together. What does it weight? Will you add any color to the details?
ReplyDeleteYeah! It took about 24 days to cool. The kiln went down only 1 degree per hour for the first 250 degrees, then 2 degrees per hour.
ReplyDeleteI'm considering adding oil paint details, more as a decoration than anything. Very minimal, but might break up the color some.
Beautiful. love the continuing concepts around dolls / doll houses. Good work. What was the electric bill if I may ask.
ReplyDeleteI love the color as well.. Maybe only frost parts and not the whole thing? It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove it!! Yes, the color is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteMartha, if you still have this at your school may I come see it in person? It looks beautiful.
