I was itching to go outside for a walk, but I wanted to finish coloring them. I will now put them aside and take a look at them from time to time. Usually areas that require recoloring will pop up. Happy almost spring to everyone!

I have been experimenting with a stain "Matsubai," which is pure pine ash. After a few trials on test tiles, the ash was sprayed on these vessels and fired in a smoky oxygen-deprived environment. As I am pleased with the results, I intend to try the stains on my new figurines.
Don't worry I am not feeling dejected, but these images come naturally to me. I am lucky I can afford to make pieces like this just to please myself.
I tried a new technique in this piece. The torso is the extension of the rock, and the legs are attached later. As the clay drys and shrinks, the feet may be lifted from the rock a bit, but cracks will not form on the ankles. Hope it will work....

Since then, I have been thinking what causes extreme mental suffering. The answer will be this sculpture's title. What came across my mind was a vicious cycle of self-rejection.
