The first pot head in a series that I am calling Cirque du Soleil was air brushed with velvet under glazes today in the studio.
What you are seeing in the photo below is the unfired low temperature glazes BEFORE I over sprayed them with a clear high gloss glaze.

Sometime within the next few weeks the pot head will be fired to vitrify the glaze and it will be ready to be planted with a variety of savory succulents.

Along with the Cirque du Soleil Pot Head Series that I am crafting I am also making an Alice in Wonderland styled water feature. I sculpted four 30 - 34 inch tall Pitcher plants - sarracenia, and will fashion them into a sculptural fountain.
The colors that I choose to air brush on the pitcher plants are really out of this world,
I hope they make it through the firing OK.

That looks a bit like Rahm Emanuel.
I love the idea of the pitcer plant water feature. Please keep blogging it.
I admit, many pot heads creep me out, but I am loving this one, especially the colors.
It looks positively alive! Gorgeous...the pitcher plant fountain. INSANE!!
I agree...we need to see more of these projects as they evolve
Very cool! I love the effect that the air brush makes and can't wait to see it glazed! The repetitive pattern in the back is a nice touch.
Can't wait to see the water feature, it sounds amazing.
Beautiful Michelle! Can't wait to see the finished installation...
I like the vent in the back of the pot head guy. Sort of like his brains, er, ah, Ideas are leaking out. Like the colors too. I hope your fountain pieces survive. I wouldn'y mind having some of those. You really should do a small, comercial, 'Artist's choice' line...
I'm with phrago, I would buy. :)
I love it! glad i found your blog!
