Goodies for Breakables at BF 2012 Auction and Show

Fresh out of the kiln, a horsehead candydish and two slab cast terracotta tile awards, all for the Breakables At Breyerfest 2012 show coming up this month.

Below is a hobby mold of a horsehead container that I cast in earthenware, fired to bisque, and then glazed for a Breakables at Breyerfest Show auction donation. I cast it fairly thick and made it into a candy or pencil holder. It's fleabit gray and then antiqued with rubbed gold and silver.


Below is a handcast slab tile made from earthenware terracotta clay for the Breakables at Breyerfest 2012 Lakeshore Division, sponsored by the Lakeshore Collection. The imprint is from a Lakeshore Status Symbol. This tile is for the highest placing Lakeshore CG finished by myself. There is a similar tile with the reverse impression for the highest placing Lakeshore OF SR finished by myself as well. The tile was fired to bisque, then glazed with clear crackle, and then antiqued with black and gold rubbings.
