Log Teapot

A successful test of a new bark texture I was working on. This is an abstracted teapot. The handle is either the new-growth twig, or the sawed off branch. The lid is the core from the top.

This is the last teapot of my wood series. I will make more, but they will only be for fun. My work is moving in a different direction. I'm trying to move away from utilitarian forms.

^6 Reduction with 5 hour heavy soak. Red and black iron oxide applied to bark for color. No glaze was used.
