Here's the crocodile, glazed and finished. After brushing the glaze on, I set the crocodile on top of the plinth in the kiln and when it fired the two pieces fused from the glaze melting. The two pieces of the headdress I fired separately. The turquoise bead had a whole all the way through while the blue piece had a hole in the bottom and the crocodile had a hole in the top of his head. After the pieces were fired, I put a short piece of toothpick into the hole on his head then threaded the turquoise and blue pieces onto the toothpick with glue to keep everything in place. E6000 does a great job gluing glass which is essentially what the glazed surface of these pieces are.
