Custom Glaze on Earthenware Ceramic 4.5" x 5" x 1" Private Collection
This is the Hagen Renaker 'Sherif' Arabian foal sculpted by Maureen Love and cast in earthenware ceramic. Originally white with a grey mane and tail, this highly collectable foal arrived to me with two broken legs and a broken ear. I kiln repaired the two broken legs and resculpted the damaged ear to be flipped back. Then I resculpted the mane and tail and refired her in my kiln. This is a pretty technically difficult repair and I may be the only person in the world doing such work.
Afterwards I have custom reglazed this foal to a dark silvery baby black after reference photos my client provided right down to custom markings she requested. This baby is completed with many firings from cone 04 for repairs, cone 06 for reglazing to a satin/matte finish with glossed eyes, and completed using overglazes fired at cone 016.
Right click on the small images if you want to open them up full size in another window. She is complete with hair pattern detail, pink nose with pearlescent sheen and soft kissy spots, multi-hued eyes with a trace of blue in her pupils, winkles, and silvery sheen to her lower legs and edges of her fluffy tail! I couldn't be more pleased with how this Arabian foal came out.
