Textured horn cast with rune

I experimented adding texture to my second cast using loads of different tools.

The end effect is quite organic, almost like bark. I let my hands move freely over the piece, tracing desire lines in a gestural way. It's given the piece an artefact quality which I like and I think will catch the glaze in interesting ways. So I'm pleased.

I have been making sigils again recently and because the piece looks tree like, I added an ogham tree symbol.
