Just a few weeks ago, I went into the ceramics rotations and I made few samples of clay with faces and hands and decorations on it. For the first sample I made got the face from a face mould and shaped it into the face that I wanted it to look like. That massive ''thing'' on it, is a hand that's doing the peace sign over an eye and on other side I placed a baby's mould face on it and for the rest of the face I made and created different textures to create a patterned face. To be honest I did not plan to do this as it was a sample and I was experimenting. I really like this sample because it is strange, abstract, simple but interesting as I think, that is what I was aiming for. After It dried and it was fired , I believe done in a week, I applied some droplets of glaze on it and made it run through the face.
I made a second sample, which is very different and slightly feminine. The lips on there were done by me as there was no mould to do them from. Also, the spaghetti/hair pieces were done through a tool that allows you to form strands of little fine hairs with soft clay. I really like this one because it is simple but beautiful in my own opinion. The colour is one thing that makes me like it the most, for this one I did also paint sand pink glaze on it with a white glaze that would make it look smooth and shiny. Also, the letters were applied on
with letter moulds that I pushed into the clay.
