#votives

I had the honor of crafting my own idol for Aphrodite this month 🐚💕 the photos are a timeline of Her creation, about 2 1/2 weeks worth of effort.

She was fired in American "raku" style (not true raku) and She is very iridescent in person !! I can't put into words how amazing it felt to form the statue from mud, gently glaze it, carry it to the sacred flames, and then slowly lower it into cool waters. I feel so much pride and love when I hold it. the glaze was meant to resemble the dark oceans, but glaze does what it desires <3

Khaire Aphrodite and Her numerous blessings!! it's fitting my first ever statue from my new favorite medium is of the Goddess that blesses us endlessly with love. thank you for giving me the opportunity to create with clay and the opportunity to create your sacred form 💘💕💓
