She turned into an angel
I started with a female form, holding her hands in prayerful position, also as in "Namaste" greeting from yoga class. But then some wings just transpired.
So then the head was added, and some ho-hum hair. Let's see, I thought, how about swirls of curls? Well, I didn't exactly do that. But there are some spirals, which reminded one person of roses. OK, maybe her head is covered with them.
And when I took these photos, I thought the eyes didn't match. So I did a bit more work on them. I'm afraid they still don't match, but I didn't want to start reworking her face at this stage, so she's been set in the kiln room to dry.
And on Monday I threw 4 sandwich size plates. I'm going to try to decorate them to go with some mugs and bowls which I did about a year ago. I've told everyone that I can no longer paint the glazes in the poppy motif that I borrowed from O'Keefe. So maybe just the same colors. We shall see...

Tree people
Raku workshop last Thursday with Geoff Bird and Maureen Joyce...go see more pics here!
These are my 2 pieces...sculptural tree people ...though one is being called an angel. I'll only give a few photos here.
More group photos tomorrow.
The Napolean's Rage glaze turned gorgeous copper colored on just one side...
The other side remains that deep navy blue with iridescent glitters here and there.
White areas are glazed with clear crackle...which also covered the turquoise Mayco glaze, but just a thin coat...not enough to get crackle however.
I made this with some recycled clays, and the construction technique is what I call torn slab.
Lower body is glazed in Napoleon's Rage glaze, which is pretty uneventful except in one place
The wings, arms and face were glazed with clear crackle, and this time nice crackles occurred.
