Witches Head, Mole, and Hobbs the garden dragon

The following 3 pieces are rather simple sculpts, done and there are no step-by-step images.
 
The first one is a small mask style piece, about 15cm, of a witches head.
This was the raw sculpt, before smoothing and adding details.
And the final piece with pupils, crinkles and lip lines, as well as warts.
Photographed with two different light settings.
It is currently at a friends in the oven.
I will post an update as soon as it's burnt.
 
Another quick piece is this little mole for the garden.
Kind of comic style setting with a mole coming out of his hole, front paws spread on the mound and huge glasses :)
This one is also currently getting burnt.
 
The following piece I did already in summer and it is already burnt.
Since I wanted it to be very colorfull and with a specific pattern - including bright red - I decided to rather use airbrush and acrylic colors than using traditional glazing.
For this I primed it in white.
Then I sprayed a very bright yellow as base color.
Some golden Yellow to soften it and add first shadows.
Orange for the top side
and black for the pattern.
The pattern was then refined with a standard brush.
And the final piece, with glowing eyes. It also received a generous coat of gloss varnish to protect it form the elements, as it will find its new home in our garden.
I hope you like these little pieces and look forward to your comments and feedback.
Cheers
Klaus
