First as she was drying, waiting for second stage.
I waxed the edges of smaller parts as she dries...hoping that they will all dry more evenly that way. She is totally hollow, including head and arms. I've got a few more things to do in the next stages, of course. First a bisque (cone 05), then to add some glazes or stains. Then a higher firing to cone 5-6, and then to glue on a couple of crystals on her skirt area.

I'm not using glaze as a final surface, but rubbing it into the details so they will "pop" a bit more...with black glaze.
I'll let you see her, hopefully before Christmas!

she is beautiful, can't wait to see her finished, is she hollowed out or solid?
