This is the finished self portrait in clay. My original intention was to make a mould of plaster then cast it in concrete, but that was before I bought a kiln.  Now I am considering hollowing out the sculpture and firing it in my new kiln. I haven't completely made up my mind, but I am leaning in that direction. I have a sculpture of my father I did in clay and was fired in a kiln by a friend, so there is a continuity that I like.
