blue footed booby mug (sold)
this was the first of my more experimental bird mugs (outside of songbirds, raptors and owls which are naturally rounder and thus fit better to a mug shape) where i wanted to see if i could do a longer necked bird. I think it mostly reads, tho if i do any more gannet species i'll probably throw a longer necked mug form for them.
the eponymous feet didn't turn out as vibrant as i wanted either (so maaaybe do another one) but otherwise everything else turned out nice. I was also experimenting with doing more color shading on the underglazes to get that flecked white to brown look that boobies have.
i used mayco's sapphire glaze for the inside, the rest is clear (tho i did use a little of amaco's snow celadon on the eyes, i don't know that it mattered much)
