Here's Solomon #1 fresh out of the mold. The poor guy looks like Frankenstein. The hardest part was figuring out how to take apart the mold without inducing stress fractures. Nevertheless, he survived pretty well. Now that I know the order of events, the next one should be easier.

Here he is cleaned up:

I wanted to give him a chiseled, slightly irregular look, so I added a bunch of tiny tool marks...

I think I'll pour one more before bisque firing. I'm also going to do some glaze tests this time so I won't be surprised by the final colors.
