Description Ceramic, 11"
I just realized that I never submitted this as a finished piece...

A piece based on a photo by LaurenCalaway :  "Problems" laurencalaway.deviantart.com/a…

I love Lauren's comment: "I can't promise to fix your problems, but I can promise you would not have to face them alone. Where there is no struggle, there is no strength."


Update: SOLD.

Thanks!  I love your description.  Yes, I love the soft brown finish I get with that clay.  No glaze - just fire to mid-range and it turns that color.  Unfortunately, someone gave me that clay, and I haven't found a source for more of it yet.  Have to keep looking.

Well, for the pose, I have to give a good bit of credit to LaurenCalaway 's original photo!  She does beautiful work.

Thank you so much!

Lovely job on her anatomy!  I just adore the somewhat petite/toned look you gave to her torso, tush, & legs...she looks really nice!!

Well done, Chuck.  She managed to stay flat to the surface though drying and firing.

Yeah.  I've started drying pieces on top of an upside-down crate, so that some air can get to the underside.  One problem I have is that the top part dries (and hence, shrinks) faster, which makes things curl up.  If I get more air underneath, then the drying is more even, and things warp less.

Always learning new tricks...
