This fauna isn't done yet. I need to do some washes on it and fire it again. That should do it. I will then attach the ears permanently using a bonding product and fill in any gaps. It will look like an ear cap.
Oh she is so whimsical and intriguing. I am amazed at how you separate the pieces and fire them. What type of bonding product do you use after firing? I have used two part epoxy but had been advised this can become brittle with age. I have used GE Silicon II for glass on glass and had it outside for years to no ill effects but have not tried that on clay.
Fabulous piece! - a magical creature from deep in the woods . . .

ReplyDeleteFor this piece I will use PC-7 epoxy paste.
DeleteI like her eyes and human ears. Of course I always like rabbits. I would love to see her cute nose, too! ; )
ReplyDeleteI think pinkish-burnt sienna around the nose? Maybe a washy gray? When I get the other one out of the kiln I will decide :)
DeleteMagical, mystical bunny! She is a story waiting to be told. A story I would love to know.
ReplyDeleteYou "do" rabbits SO well Charlene!
