Inspired by the Edelweiss flowers that I found in the Alpine mountains of Zermatt, Switzerland.
I have a bag of porcelain to work with. yummy.. So I sculpted a ball of the clay using the pinch method and used a wooden baton to help its form. When it was leather hard, I carved some apertures to make it more interesting. I then sculpted some Edelweiss flowers, scored and slipped to fix it onto the main sculpture. When dried, I fired it to bisquit firing and here you go.
As this is just a sample, I will add some yellow and green to the center using underglaze and then give it a coat of clear glaze, fire to 1200 and see what happens.
Here's some samples after glazing to 1200, soak 15 mins
