Tattoo You
My girl has tattoos now:
We fired the kiln to cone 6 today. Well, Dave did, really. I just babysat through part of it. While I was there, I got a lot of work done, carving and painting and such.
The tattoos that I painted on my larger piece were not done today, but last weekend. I did them using a book of Sailor Jerry and other old school tatoos and a tissue paper transfer technique that I saw on youtube. After she's fired, I'm going to haze out the tattoos with sponged on white underglaze and then send her through the kiln yet again. I like the idea of ghostly tattoos on the calavera girls.
And Christmas is coming so I carved and painted these today. They'll go in the next bisque kiln.
Tomorrow we'll open the kiln and see what kind of messes we've made!
