Jonathan Crane's Art

[jonathancrane]

Hi, all.

I've been working on a multitude of fan related projects, but here is one that is complete: a replica of the Casket of Ancient Winters from Thor. I sculpted this out of clay and fired it in the final firing of my college's anagama kiln. There are some fine details I need to apply (such as creating the flourescent blue effect,) but, overall, I am pleased with it, considering that I am new to ceramics (my mother is the potter in the family.) I will post pictures with better resolution when I return home this weekend.

For now, here is an iPod capture:

After this: the Cosmic Cube...hopefully.

As a suggestion - you can do finer lines in Clay (and curves) the same basic way you can do on PAPER - french curves using a wooden stick with a fine point. on the curves while clay is soft to get smooth edges / curves etc these are available in hobby shops and usually made of plastic Otherwise edges on this appear a bit rough.
i see what you are doing - been years since I did stuff like this
