Nice work!!

Welcome to TC Shrunkentiki, you've been busy!

Great wood texture, I guess it helps being a wood carver too. They don't look like mugs, I take it they are sculptural pieces?

Beautiful glazework - looks like verdigris in the low spots and rubbed bronze on the high spots

T

Wow! These are really special in my book, sculpture or vessel, really doesn't matter.

Thanks Mike, its not glazework,it's a "patine" usually used for cooker plates , vert de gris patine and hand polished

B

I Like Em!! That Patine is beautiful...

ST, I can't find any info about your vert de gris patine. Is it a bronze foil like gold leaf that you apply to the surface?

TB

vraiment super ton travail :wink: really nice work!!!
I love your style!

Excellent work with clay... Insane detail on those tiki's

T

Way cool. And those are your 1st attempts? Can't wait to see what you follow those up with.

Thanks, some new in the oven today .....

Thanks ST.

Looks like a similar product called Iron-56 Black Iron Paste is available in the US

But it don't come cheap at $30 for 10 ounces!

Beautiful finish you have created there! I would have believed it was aged cast bronze.

Belle texture... faudra que tu m'expliques un jour comment tu finis tes pièces, bois ou terre, ça pas l'air commun et franchement bien intéressant!

Avec plaisir , t'as deja essayé la terre ?

Truly.

I can see a lot of your influences. Squid/Gecko and Bosko.

That's true i love their job, but it's a long way to be as good as their work
Next step try to glazed some piece, maybe the monkey...

M

WOW, nice work! I love the glazes and the designs, you've really got it down!

P

Shrunktentiki,

Brilliant work, amazing detail and glazes...I'm really hoping to get into making mugs at some point...First I have to get used to working with wood...
