It All Begins Here
I start with a rough scaffold of toilet paper tube, paper, and high temperature wire. I place a written prayer, poem or intension around the tube which burns away during the firing process.
Adding the scaffold for the rider and the barrel of the horse.
Filling in, but the clay is too wet and sticky.
Starting the legs.
Time to start the rider.
Mounted the rider to horse.
Added the pumpkin.
Started the tree as a base to hold the horse.
Mounted the horse and rider to tree base.
Made adjustments to proportions of rider and added more details.
18 hours later! Time to let it dry (about a week).
