Manitou, Finished!

After a lot of thought and tedious work, my manitou is finished. I decided to go with oxides instead of glazes because I thought the piece would look wrong if it were all shiny, and it turns out I was right.
I'll be taking some better pics of him today and putting him on disc to submit to the Crocker museum Friday.

  2. wonderful!
    the oxides were definitely the right choice.
    I really love how the sculpture is almost hiding itself from us. It brings a wonderfully sympathetic, human quality to the piece.

    Job well done, Shelley!
