A mostly complete horse sculpture. This is the first sculpture that I have done in porcelain so it is a test of sorts. If this one makes it through the first firing I will offer it for sale with buyers choice of glaze. Another photo and more information will be posted after bisk firing.
*EDIT*
Well I should have known better but its been so long since I used natural clay that I made a very common mistake. I did not take into account the shrinkage of the clay over the armature and now...I have cracks. I may try to make a mold of the piece and then slip cast so that it can be hollow and I can make many copies but im still on the fence about it. I not sure that this piece in particular is good enough to reproduce.
