Feel like flying🩷💚

I was finally able to really let my little girls fly full of ‘lightness of life’.

Technical notes
The base, made of semi-refractory clay, has a grid of clay inside it that is necessary to keep the jet of glue that I injected inside it with a special gun stable and contained. The glue inside the base once it has dried holds the steel rod firmly in place.
Inside the girl's belly is a clay tube into which the steel rod is inserted after injecting glue.
Obviously, this assembly process has to be done at two different times.

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.

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.

The base is made of semi-refractory clay while the girl is modelled in normal pinkish clay. Both parts are decorated with engobes and ceramic glazes.
