A gust of wind

Sua sorella è volata lontano e lei mi fa compagnia. Una farfalla arancione le sta posata sulla spalla e i capelli sono tutti per aria. Mi fa ricordare i bei giorni estivi in riva al mare, il caldo sulla pelle, la brezza sui capelli e un buon libro per viaggiare lontano.

The sculptures are hollow. The face is as small as a hazelnut and modelled by hand. The curls are applied one at a time and are made of delicate strips of clay rolled up on themselves.

Using normal clay of a pinkish hue

The girl's skin is left in natural clay, while the coloured parts have been painted with different hues of engobes (slips) in order to create delicate nuances and plays of colour. I really like playing with colours and decorations.

I apply little glaze.
