Fleshy Flesh

IP panic crazy time- a week in a half left to work.... hopefully i can finish in time, we'll see. I am feeling better about my surfaces ( only because I don't know how to glaze and messed one of the kilns up so I decided to try using a non glaze material). I have been experimenting with conte crayon on a bisqued surface with a layer of parafin wax rubbed on top. It creates this fleshy, worn, organic surface that I love. I've also been using the crayon and wax on top of samples that I've already applied textured and satin matte glazes. The pieces that have lichen or M and M glazes already look great with the conte and waz over it. I think the textures and Jackie's base with 5% Rutile with act as an element of diversity within the creatures. As for now I really need to start organizing my piees orientations for the installation because I think that will really determine how I glaze each individual piece.

Ok so just had a meeting with Janie, Seth and Amanda- it's time to glaze one of the pieces and see what happens:)
