And I continue my series of ceramic works with another hero or heroine? Decide for yourself. This story is about poor Fred, who, while clearing his well, found a skeleton in it "in a girl's dress". For some reason, he dragged him to his home and kindled tender feelings for him. "... Fred sits in front of the skeleton, communicates with him, bad, as if he is alive..."
Another thing happened to Fred - his legs were taken away, but this is nothing compared to what a favorite he found.
After all, he saw in her not just a skeleton, but a young beautiful maiden. And then one day " ... from mad love, every moonlit night, the dead got up, became overgrown with flesh..."

This feature is very close to me - to see the beautiful in the terrible.
The skull is decorated with flowers on the reverse side, I wanted to bring a certain feminine image.
This is my interpretation of Calavera Katrina-a skeleton in a woman's dress, decorated with flowers. You've probably seen these Mexican skulls before? The topic is very interesting and rich in experiments.
But this is a completely different story, and now a little bit about how it is done.

Made by hand from a lump of clay. Each curl is carefully cut and processed in such a way as to create a pleasant texture. When carving, you have to be very careful - one wrong movement, and you can pierce through the mold or mash it pretty much.
After the first firing, the glaze is applied, and after the second at very high temperatures, achievable only in muffle furnaces, the glaze powder turns into glass.

And of course, each product is fraught with not only magic and history, but also many hours of painstaking work.

All ceramics are carefully and securely packed in a neat box, it's nice to get it in such a box, and even more so to give it!
