A lady in a soft and light bird body
I have been trying to combine two of my favourite mediums clay and fibre for a while but have only made a few. here in a previous post and here.
When I woke up this morning, I tested fitting this newly fired porcelain head that came out of the kiln yesterday with a wet-felted body made years ago. I like it! Both head and body are hollow and very light - just like a bird.
These are some quick photos taken before going to work this morning. I think the combination of my subtle painting, pure white porcelain and soft white sheep wool worked well to create her gentle presence. She made my day :)

Some work done last few days. More heads designed to be moveable by their necks. Not sure where they are going to take me...but I am quite happy in this new journey!! |
Wishing you all a happy week end!
