Description
I have made at least 12 of these guys using a Raku clay moonman medallion from an artist in Iowa. He is not to be found..so this is the last one of this style. Raku is a clay firing technique that produces a metallic finish in clay sometimes smoky looking and sometimes shiny. This one looks like chrome and copperplating.
