The obsession continues! As I was forming this octopus, my co-worker commented on the color. I told her it was just scrap clay from an ugly cane and I'd be covering it up with a skin (a thin layer of a specially blended pattern). "No! I like how that one looks now!" she protested. So all I did was add a matching skin to the head so that it looked a little more finished and matched the tentacles better. Also, I used an aged bronze metallic pigment to give it a little shimmer and pizzazz.
The first octopus features a glossy glaze, but on this one I used Modge Podge clear acrylic matte finish instead. It still has a little shine but isn't ridiculous. I think I'll stick with it.
I tried making this one smaller, but I really need to work on my proportions. Maybe next one will be more petite!
