work in progress - chess set


over at BrickPitt Studios i've been working on a reproduction set of 12th century Persian chess pieces. yesterday i glazed the pieces after the first firing. i am giving myself a C+ so far on this project. my 3D plastic hand skills are not the best. my hand does not seem to do what my mind/eye wishes with this type of work. but i am having fun nonetheless.

and while the above looks like everything has been done with the same glaze, the upper set of pieces are actually in a 'natural' glaze and the lower half a milky white. one more firing to go next week. then i can build a new wooden chessboard.
