Since my in progress post about my sculpture I have finished glazing the outside of the piece. I used a light blue glaze to make it look like the sky, and I used clear glaze on the body so that it would look white. Then it was fired again, I then painted on dark blue to the bottom areas and inside of the piece to make it look like the pelican was sitting in the ocean. In my detail shot (bottom right picture) you can see little green lines, that is green paint I put on to look like seaweed, to give it more of an ocean look. Lastly I painted the glazeware's feet with orange paint.
I found the craving out of the pelican and adding the beak and eyes to be the most successful part (and my favorite) of the piece. I feel like it gave it character and a unique look to it. If I were to do it again I would make some of the pieces I attached to it thicker, so that it could have been scored on better then maybe it wouldn't fall of so much (in the end it stayed on).
