Garsecg: Or, The Merman, Holding A Fish

Merman: stoneware; glazes in green,blue, and gray. Note the blotchy chest. I dripped glaze on top of glaze in hopes of gaining the texture and color of kelp, and it worked.

I've posted shots of this piece many times now, but Merman remains one of my favorite pieces and one of my first successes.

Merman: Fins of Clay

I've posted photos and written about this particular merman here.  I'm particularly proud that he's all of one piece of clay, aside from the fish in his hands: structural integrity and speed of execution (perhaps hastiness, but I'm not judging today).  Also, I'm proud of his knuckles.  I put some craft there.
