Yes, they are beautiful and very mystical!  Cool

(They still have to dry very slowly and make it through two kiln firings, so I will wait to report anything further until it is looking more complete)

They are very weird. Just as they should be Wink

Cary, just curious... Do you have to hollow out the backs of the figures for them to survive the firings? Or are they small enough that they can make it through?

JKP, They are partially hollow on the inside. It's best not to try to fire a solid piece of clay larger than say half an inch thick, it will have difficulty drying thoroughly and more likely to have trapped air bubbles or moisture inside (which can cause it to explode in the kiln!) So the heads, torsos and upper part of the legs are sculpted hollow. The smaller parts like the hands and feet are solid. Also, the hollow part has to have a small pinhole somewhere for air to escape during firing, otherwise once again there will be an exploding nymph situation. The pinhole goes through the navel so it is camouflaged in the design.

Smile  Can't wait to see how they turn out.

I started working out how to make an 8-pointed glass star (based off of the central star on f73r) This is my first attempt- (my plan is that the star will also light up)

Glad you got started on the glass, it turned out well! Will it be color coated?

I'll probably coat the inside with a yellow phosphor so it will have a colored glow.

The attention to detail in these sculptures is impressive. Like the way you scratched in the blush, true Voynich style Big Grin
