Autumn doll

This pot is coiled and pinched from re-cycled red clay. I intend to glaze the 'dress' & 'hat' parts in autumn colours using a combination of stains and glaze while leaving the 'feet' and 'face' natural terra cotta. Another experiment! Note the autumnal colours in the background. I will post a photo of the finished pot if it is successful.

The landscape bands specifically - with the hills and sky are referencing Colin McCahon's Northland panels which I admire. The pots are 40cm high.
