Elephant...from drawing, standing, glazed

From a drawing by my neice. Cut two shapes from slab, slipped together. 

 

                                             

Spraying it on -- Glazing Lamp

 

First time spaying on the glaze ..for smoothness. Dipped the white one, but this one is going to be green, so didn't want to have a bucket of green. Air compressor to help the spray. Almost magic. ;)

Dad's art apron from long long ago

Guest Artist -- Angel --Multi Media

 She made a decoration for the tree out of various elements around the house, and sent me a picture.  I believe the staff is included from recent "staff" conversations we have had ..found one on Abbott's, loved it, but left it there, b/c not really supposed to take natural things from the beach. But, she really liked the stick, and imagined having it her whole life, and the uses she could have until a hunched over older person (let's hope really really old, but no hunch!)

Lamp ..Ceramics...with Stain

Experiment with a stain as opposed to a "glaze." Cone 5. Need to assemble the lamp parts, but basically ready to go. May add some metallic "paint" touches on the surface. 

 

Lamp with Glass Highlights

Ok, didn't turn out perfect, but first attempt. Need to figure out the join around the melted glass oval to the body of the lamp...glue, then grout perhaps.  Lampshade not right yet, but on the way.
