Celebrating the Spirit of Summer, I got inspired by a photo of my great niece Maggie. This is the finished clay before firing. My plan is to glaze her with bright, joyful colors and place her in the center of a gigantic daisy. Every time I look at her I smile!
In order to fire the sculpture, it needs to be hollow. This is how I begin this process. I ended up cutting it across the chest as well so I could access areas in the arms. The sculpture is now drying, which may take several weeks before it is dry enough to fire in the kiln.
