I've had four ceramic masks of various sises sitting around for a long while and decided to destroy one today. Based on my trial with an open mug over the weekend I decided to not try anything fancy, just put the firecracker behind the mask. I also decided to use black paper as a background which I don't do very often since I like color so much.
It worked out better than I expected. My only regret is the dust from the explosion kind of covered one eye. If I was good at Photoshop I could do something about that, but I also don't think that it's fair. I spot out some spots, do gradients and brush corrections, but I don't like putting things in that were not there.
Cheers.
Just a render of a julia quaternion set in povray with a fired, unglazed ceramic texture applied to it.
Mainly a test render to see whether a plausible ceramic texture can be done in povray.

From the Museo Leymebamba in Leymebamba, Amazonas Department, Peru.
The museum's web site states:
Inaugurated in June 2000, the Museo Leymebamba displays the more than 200 mummies and their burial offerings recovered in 1997 from the Laguna de los Cóndores by a salvage Project directed by Centro Mallqui. Once at risk from looters and vandals, today this valuable collection is housed in the Museo Leymebamba. An initiative of The Bioanthropology Foundation Peru-Centro Mallqui, the Museo Leymebamba’s construction was made possible by a donation from a group of Austrian citizens as well as by funds from private donors.

I taught pottery for 20+ years, making my own ceramics also. I always thought of this one as "my best pot". Standing about 30 cm high, I learned the technique from a renowned Korean potter Seung ho Yang, who worked with us for a time. A thickly thrown cylinder is coated with dry ball clay, then deeply scored. It is then finished by throwing using only one hand from the inside, opening the surface as well as the belly of the pot. Glazed with an off-white dryish glaze, rim finished with the Japanese glaze Tenmoku. I treid a similar method using slip made from clay dug from a ditch on my local golf course (I always knew golf must have SOME purpose in being), which was very iron-rich, with good results.

I think this jug was made around 1910 in Kutahya. The decoration, which is quite fine, resembles that used later by the Balian family and United Workshop in Jerusalem. The jug was probably made by an Armenian pottery just prior to the expulsion from Turkey. Could it be earlier? All comments welcome.
