What Do You Think?


Well, what do you think of my "masterpiece"? He's not done yet, so I have a little bit of time to make changes as I need to. Good thing, too, because I see a dent in his forehead...

Yeah, he IS funny looking, but I like him (my daughter thinks he is hideous!) It is my first attempt at sculpting a serious face in ceramic. I made him this morning for my class. He is completely from scratch, no molds. He is about 7 inches long.
I need some assistance, though. I am not sure how to finish him. Should I give him ears, or make him more like a Greenman style, surrounded by foliage? The kids think I should surround him with grapes, grape leaves, and vines. I also need to glaze him after I fire him, so any color suggestions will also be appreciated.
I hope you are having a terrific day, and thanks for the help!

Good Morning

Well, it is cloudy today, but the sun is trying to shine.
Today is supposed to be my first day of Spring Break, but I have to work, so there really is no rest for the wicked, hahaha.

I hope you have truly wonderful day today!
