A Thought for Today

“It is not who is right but what is right that is of importance.” 

                                         Thomas Huxley

 

A Piece of My Work

I was working on a "Memory" head in the series of heads that I like so much. I was trying to make again the 'elusive' head which broke (shown in the September 6th blog). While working on it, the head got elongated. I suddenly realized that I liked it and I called it "Thinking of Modigliani".

 

 

This is the head at the time of finish. The clay is naturally grey. It would become off white after being fired. 

Because I wanted it in the same color, I got a metallic grey glaze and it came out quite well as seen below.
