Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Fall

This is the last scheduled post Google held on to. I'll get to current stuff next.

Man - I really did a good job on Humpty. He got a collar, legs, boots and hands. I knew I should have taken a picture before I left the clay studio last week.

This Tuesday Humpty got out of control within the first few minutes of class and broke his legs, feet, shirt collar and one hand (the hand & arm that didn't break will hold flowers picked from the brick wall). I took them off and will fire him naked. It's a good opportunity to go in another direction and attach something mixed media for legs (although I loved his shoes).

So Humpty went on the firing shelf and I made a TEA POT (6" h x 9" long)!















The foam is to support the spout and handle until the clay hardens and they're not in danger of sagging.

I'll post when they're finished (if you're still with me). It may take a little while since clay class doesn't resume until September.
