OK, these photos were taken before the actual glaze had been added! The perforated bowl was covered in celadon glaze, after waxing the outlined branches so they might remain white. We shall see.
The tree itself had a coat of dark black wash, which was sponged to just leave it in the textural lines. Then I applied a coat of matt clear. This is expected to give a sepia tone to the white clay. We shall see.
By glazing them separately, I can decide whether or not the sculpture really works or not. I admit to leaning toward "not." In a week or so ...shall see!
Today's quote:
Like a tree, our growth depends upon our ability to soften, loosen, and shed defenses we no longer need.
