Here we go again… another one of those wake you up in the middle of the night projects that just won’t go away! What is it, you ask? An incense burner!
I’ve seen burners that are trees but they’re always so anthropomorphic. Cute yes… but I wanted a tree that just looked like an old gnarly tree, you might come across on a walk in the woods.
It’s made of polymer clay.This one I made around a bottle and then removed it after baking. It was pretty fragile in the unfired stage. To finish, it was antiqued, then glazed. It sits over incense cones on a ceramic disc.
I know, pretty random huh?
