Turtle with Lid

This thing was so huge, I had to knock his head off to get it into the kiln for firing. I re-attached it with epoxy and then filled and matched the tooling with glue-reinforced fix-all. Needless to say, a fired glaze wasn't an option, so I ended up soaking him with brown stain, adding green acrylic over the high areas. He currently guards the entry by the front door. "Doorstop?"
