Dark Side of the Moon

Mostly, I think, finished:



I'm not completely happy, but it was a useful test of form and color. It's a little hard to tell in the photo how many layers of paint and glaze have been applied, some with a pearl and/or golden tint, some with various blues & greens, but the picture below is how it looked when I'd applied only the first layer of paint, back on February 28th:

Better balanced physically and visually, slightly sanded. Needs more sanding.

WIP => Work In Progress, formed and baked, next steps: sanding and painting
This is a small piece (about six inches wide) that's somewhat for practicing painting techniques for the mask in the other work, but also something that wanted to be made on its own. I also need to add some extra clay to the back of the left side, because it hangs too far down on the right so the droplet isn't quite straight.

I have an idea for an art piece. I have all the skills required for this one, but it's a complicated, 3-dimensional, multimedia sort of piece and it's taking a long time to pull together.

So, still a ways to go. But it (might be / could be / will be) awesome.
