Skull in a Jar

 

I cast a skull and coloured it up.  I needed it raised out of the lid so I used a cotton spool and some cardboard.

I glued a large spider on the top of the jar.

I added white shredded paper and some mini resin embellishments.

I used brushed iron alchemy wax on the embellishments.

And after I'd coloured them I decided that it needed a proper more stable base, so covered a coaster with black powertex and added in some small sand balls.

I used white powertex to dry brush over the coaster to show the sand balls and texture.

And then finally a shot in the garden.

Dolls Head in a Jar

 

I started off playing with plastic spiders, a jar and black tulle.

I painted the dolls head and gave her some make-up!

And this was the end result.

Pottery Classes

 

This is the very thing that I made on the wheel. It's not meant to be anything, I was just playing and seeing what I could do with the lump of clay.

And for my second attempt I tried to keep it uniform and decided it would make a good t-light holder as I created a ridge in the bottom for it to sit in.

I used a coaster cutter to cut 4 pieces of clay.  I stamped into them and after the first blast in the kiln I then glazed them and then they went back in again.

And this one is stamped the flower and stamped around all the sides, and after the first blast in the kiln I painted the flower in different colours of glazes and added small pieces of glass the all of the edges. I left the surround of the flower glaze-less.  I just love how it has turned out as the glass has also crackled.

I have signed up again for it starting in September, Covid permitted!
