Added the teeth. Added support structures on the back. Still feels flimsy.

Filled in the area around the eyes.

The hat was looking comically small and the hair was also out of proportion. Replaced both. It's getting big and it's composed of many pieces. These things make the journey to the kiln and beyond a treacherous one.

Started a new version, but I wanted to make his face fatter because my brain wants to believe that Lon Chaney had chubby cheeks.

Now the face is wider, but the hat and hair look comically small. 

The Man in the Beaver Hat broke in the bisque kiln. There was a note that said something had moved in the firing, which I'm taking to mean that something fell on it.

Skeletal Santa

I made a Christmas tree ornament last year of skeletal Santa Claus face with some AI-sourced images as inspiration. It was damaged in the glaze kiln and this is my remake.

Damaged Santa from last year. The left holly leaf/bat wing broke off and floated across the liquid glaze into the right eye socket while in the glaze kiln. The holly leaf/bat wing is my human contribution to the design and that was the part that broke. The overall shape of the face came from one AI image and the holly leaf and berries came from a different AI image. It makes me feel dirty inside to admit to using an AI image generator for the design, but as usual, it's hot to break taboos. I'm always using found images as models and inspiration. These sources happen not to be human creativity.  Art is theft. Culture is theft.

AI-generated Santa Claus ornaments.
