Keeper – Out of the Kiln
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008The ammonite fossil sadly did not survive the kiln. It looked as though it had survived when I first removed it from the kiln, but upon prodding it was revealed to have become incredibly fragile and fell apart in small chunks. I will be replacing it with another as soon as I can find one of approximately the right size to slot in to the piece.
The bronz clay produces a rather interesting texture at times. The tentacles went into the kiln in a very smooth state, yet came out with a more bubbly, rough texture. I think it has to do with how thick a piece is. The thinner ones all come out the way they went in, at least thus far.
