Kettle bell NAI

Revisited with some glaze and scumbling. Tried to work out the pastiness

This surface looks much more smooth than its predecessor; its realism gives it coldness.

i like how things have been smoothed out. it helps it looks more finished...
but this photo is really different than the other, it looses a lot of the great color that the previous image had. the other image's contrast of warm and cool was really good, but this image looses that.
is this accurate or just photographic?

Mom, thanks.

Geoff,

It's probably a little of both. Since my good camera was out of commission, I had to take these with a crappier one, which meant more manipulation in iphoto. And it's hard to duplicate the colors after the fact.

But, I believed the previous one to be disjointed - the patches of color not really fitting into a unified whole. I tried to solve this problem with glazes and such, but with glazes, color can drop. I guess the trick is trying to keep the temperature interactions more alive during the unifying process?
