Paper Clay Results

Here are the results from my first paper clay firing:

 Putting a cardboard cone in the paper clay seems to support it enough for the firing, the cones without supports collapsed and the ones with wire frames looked to bulky, so I'm going to stick with the card supports for now. I like the simplicity and delicacy of these pieces, I need to work on the shapes more to find some that get across a sense of protection and care, at the moment some of these pieces seem more like flowers than anything else! I also need to work on the finish and experiment with the clay more, to try and see what I can really get out of it and how far I can push it to get the results I want.
