The pictures aren’t the best, we are remodeling our kitchen. My usual spot is no longer available until that is finished.

Well she worked out kinda OK. Here I was worried about the ear but it was the shoulder that blew! So I glued it and added some gold paint.

This is a gorgeous sculpt! As a potter I do know you need to hollow out your piece keeping the same thickness throughout. I suggest an inch then use a needle tool or a fork to punch holes on the inside so air can escape from the back instead the front of the piece.

I did a lot of value shading with my different pencils. I would use a sheet of paper and write the pencil number at the top and shade from darkest to lightest in a rectangle, then do lightest to darkest on the same sheet.

What is the dye for? I have never used in my two part molds for slip casting?
