Better Photographs!

Finally! I am happy to have some better photos to show of some of my forms with the piercing on the outside of a circle (as opposed to vice-versa, as was prominent in my work from earlier in the year). These newer forms (if I haven't mentioned already) are made from a PORCELAIN paperclay body, so they are even whiter and crisper. My piercing is getting refined more too - more, smaller holes. It is more time-consuming, but I think it is more intricate and beautiful.


I also have some pics of the pink-ish coloured form. (As I've said before, I'm experimenting more with colour and form... so hopefully this is the start of something good!)

I'm not sure how I feel about the shadow with the coloured forms... It almost seems a bit too much. Maybe the shadow is just too stark in contrast. I suppose I could try the form on a high-gloss surface, with a reflection? I didn't like the white / cream forms in that arrangement, but it might work better with the coloured forms.I guess as with everything, it's a balancing act to find just the right finished product, and the photo to compliment it. I do think the first photo captures the sheen of the clear gloss glaze beautifully though.
