lobster skull




this was an xmas gift from the ol' lady. took me awhile. about 3 months, actually, off and on. couple of weeks ago, i was on vacation, so i went into the pottery joint almost everyday to finish it up.

interesting how it looks almost totally different than it did before it was fired. not that it's a bad thing. i did purple, and then white line work, and then black line work over it. most of the white burned away, leaving some highlights, but i think it looks really good that way. it's kind of big, too. 7". most of the time was spent on the face, going over the contours. total bitch!

these photos aren't super awesome, but it gives you an idea what it looks like. if you really want to see it in person, i guess you're going to have to come over.
