Christmas present?

Saw this version of Mary Shelleys Frankenstein with some clay included so you can sculpt your own monster. I don't know, but there should be a version with clay included of Meyrinks Golem also. He/she/it is at least made of clay while Frankenstein is made of human bodyparts. Hmmm, they didn't want to include bodyparts - a bit to messy I guess, and probably against the law.

Golem and the princess bowl

This is where the beautiful white princess is molested the by the red Golem clay, almost falling over but still on her feet because she has three strong supports holding her up. Still raw and unfired and there will be a glaze on the bowl, hopefully a crystal glaze, but with ceramics you never know how it will come out after firing. It can, or will probably crack and the glaze may be a total failure so the story of this one is still to be continued. 



Just another bowl

Another studio image of a bowl I made. Handbuilt, still unfired, thumbed, about 15 cm high, but this time I've worked on the finish of it in a I way usually don't. Scraping, polishing and removing all the fingerprints I usually leave as a signum of my work. I call it a princess bowl, but in this picture it's not finished yet! Right now it's just another bowl - but I have plans for it! 

To be continued...
