So this is what is left of my relief nightmare...Yes he once had a body and his forehead was not cracked in half, but disaster struck. I need to be more careful with my pieces = (. He was made out of a new red low-fire sculptural clay I was using. It's shrinks considerably when it's bone dry, and it more brittle than the stoneware I've previously used. Instead of glazing him I decided to test out metallic spray paints on him. The aluminum look isn't working for me, so I'm going to try a more rustic bronze look. I tried the crackle spray, but it looked too arts and crafts for my taste.
