Gargouilles, or waterspitters

Now that the michelin-man, or clouds/fire-guy is finished I have started the gargouilles proyect. Remember earlier postings with photos of my scetchbook?
There you can see the primal ideas.

...Just scroll on down...

I haven´t been posting a lot lately, because I have been working on another very vital part of the art of ceramics: Glaze !!!!
Usually I glaze a lot, but this summer, somehow I just don´t seem toget to it. Last week, however I had to do some tryouts for a very special red-ish brown. The laboratory of our supliers had especially for our customer set together the components and after getting the green light from those client, we started to paint some plates to do tryouts....
Result: NO way near the desired colour!
Made some mixes myself... burning ... NO, nada, noppes!
Anyways, for ceramists a very common story, for not ceramist a lot of ABRACADABRA and also not too interesting on photo...
So we leave it here, am going on to work on the gargouilles until holidays are over for the supliers so I can go and give them a Hard, Hard time! ;-)
