Thank you for your feedback!

Indeed, the insects are made of clay. The main parts I unscrew on a potter's wheel, then manually doleplivayu. When the products dry out a little (ceramists say they dry out), I treat their surface with a metal object (spoon

) or a smooth pebble so that they get a matte shine. Firing at 1000-1100 degrees. I decorate mainly in the long-known, ancient ways-smoking and milkweed: after such processing, the product takes on from dark brown to black colors-it all depends on the nuances. The average product size in length is 35-50 cm. Now I'm making a fly and a dragonfly, as soon as they are ready - I'll post pictures. I really like sculpting insects: they remind me of some structurally complex, intricate mechanisms that never cease to amaze. Good luck to all! Draw and sculpt insects!

To be honest, I thought that the West African bronze plate was made of metal. Great!
