Misty Day Pyramid Box

Large pyramid box topped with Red bird for handle. Made with Little Loafers cone 6 clay. Painted with Amaco LUG underglazes. Glazed on the outside with Amaco Zinc Free Clear and insed with Coyote Rainy Day glaze.

I wanted a streaky, Misty, worn background for the stark black trees and red birds. The box is actually white, yellow and gray Amaco Lugs for the back ground. I painted each color on then after painting another layer on top of it wiped it back in some areas before applying the final topmost layer which I then wiped back to allow the other layers to show through. The trees are Amaco Black and the Birds Amaco Dark Red.
