Been busy working on a wedding and a big set decoration project so I haven't done any ceramics lately. But I spent 5 days in Mexico last week and I'm not very good at sitting still so I took a molded skull with me. I had made this trophy skull for the Cannibal Art Swap last summer

It was one of my favorite projects and I'm still bitter that I had to trade it away (just kidding Kinny :wink: ) So I decided to make a new one for me. Needed to do some "mud engineering" because I'm making this one differently. On the last one, the bamboo stake was ceramic and part of the mug so it could only sit on the stand. I have made a tunnel through this one so it can be impaled on a stake or sit flat on the table. I also made a separate chamber behind the eyes and nose so that dry ice smoke can come out of those holes



I think I will do a similar glaze to the last one, Amaco Opalescent over Velvet - I like that look :)
