from the kiln

A few weeks ago i decided to make a ceramic doll

I was playing around with some clay i had at home - it was wrapped in a wet rag to keep the clay from drying out. I made a plate and wanted to use the rag creases as a feature. I really like this idea and am happy with how the creases turned out but the colour and way its painted really have no relevance. I would like to try this again.

    the creases are such a good texture... love that they retain the process of working with the clay. xox

    I love how your ceramic doll turned out, isn't great when drawings become reality? I like the rag creases too.

    Hi Julie,
    I hope you're fine!! I'm a little late here....your doll is really beautiful, an expression of stillness, standing on the shelf and calming the room!
