FOOL MASK (GITM BY @venomous-qwille)
Handbuilt porcelain with slip, overglaze, glaze, and gold lustre accents. Paint and lacquer detailing added post fire. Handsewn fool's cap and bells added post fire.
This mask is a part of a (loosely connected) mask series, all hand-built and fired using a range of different temperatures and techniques.
My favourite mask to date, Fool from Ghost in the Machine by the wonderful @venomous-qwille !! GITM is absolutely incredible and I cannot put into words eloquently how much I adore it and Fool so instead I made this mask! Hi!
My word was this mask a struggle to make. The mask itself is entirely one piece, and entirely porcelain!! That's right, those long thin rays are solid porcelain!! The eyes and tips of the blades are done in 22 carat gold lustre. All colouring save for the black and the satin sections of darker red on the face were done with only slips and underglazes. The red colour was correct without the paint, but I thought a contrast from the rest of the gloss would look nice :)
Made to scale, the mask measures 50.8x60.96cm without the hat, and 50.8x116.84cm with it! (20x24in without hat, 20x46in including hat). He is Large, but turned out absolutely lovely and I send my many many thanks to the kiln gods for producing him unscathed.
(naku & wall for scale)
(he's so big guys i have large walls (the top of my head is only slightly above the top of the bookcase beneath him) look at him at the wall it's nuts)

The absolute last thing I could've ever expected to see when I was browsing the Marketplace for a lamp. "Perfect for everyday use" indeed.
I see a little silhouetto of a man...

was typing out this rant about how people were taking my post making fun of spock’s interior design instinct (its awful) too seriously and that if i want to make fun of spock i will because he is really super easy to make fun of (unhinged homosexual who does stupid shit all the time ) and then i realised that i am just bones and had to delete the whole thing.

Whispers seaslug orca eclipse ~☆
You know, @pillowspace brought up chromodoris magnifica in an ask for a good Orclipse sea slug! Combining a large and powerful apex predator with gorgeous colors, a skirt-like mantle, and striking rhinophores would make him so lovely! He would be one pretty and dangerous siren.
