Bird woman is done and another piece is finished!

This is a piece I did from extruded clay.  It was VERY fragile after it was dry.  Some pieces did break off but after it was glazed I was able to epoxy them back together.  The main glaze is Heirloom Silver and the raised dots are Cranberry.  It is hung with a painted dowl through the top and fibers running down the side.

 Bird woman now has her head - the skull of a dove.  Her wings are donations from a bird that the neighbors cat got.  Her skirt feathers are from our chickens.

 Her body, skirt and base are all made from slip molds.  I made the slip mold for the torso.

 Inside her skirt are nesting materials

 I'm very happy with the way she turned out!
