Celia UK 172 Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Yay! My favourite so far Evelyne oops! it's NOT a competition is it? I love the surface. What do you do with the sand? Quote Link to comment
Evelyne Schoenmann 267 Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Celia: no, it's not a competition. But thanks for the compliment anyway! I use sand on the greenware to get shadows and still more interesting surfaces. I use sand, grit, marble powder etc. quite often. Try it! Quote Link to comment
Celia UK 172 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Silly question, I know Evelyne, but how do you apply the sand etc. to the greenware? Quote Link to comment
Evelyne Schoenmann 267 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share There are no silly questions Celia. I either roll the still wet but already stiff piece in a bucket full of sand, or I spray water on the piece, take a handful of sand or marble powder or whatever and throw it at the piece. (You want to do that on the floor in the basement, not in the kitchen! Just kidding). I then either paddle the sand into the clay or I push it in lightly with the ball of my thumb. I also sometimes wet a sponge, push it into the sand and apply the wet sand on the greenware by means of the sponge. (You hold the sponge under streaming water and then you squeeze most of the water out again. You don't want to have a sponge thats too wet!). Quote Link to comment
glazenerd 1,807 Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share I have seen a version of this before: lets say 1500BC or so. The detailing draws the eye into the piece. Proportion is the hardest part when doing this kind of piece: but you did it well- very nice. Nerd Quote Link to comment
