Big Smiley Ball

This is my largest smiley ball, and it was coil-built rather than built as two pinch-pots joined at the lip.  It’s about fourteen inches in diameter.  It looks slightly different now, because I painted it with iron-paint after I took this photo. The iron paint is a suspension of iron particles in an acrylic paint base, and it should rust after being exposed to air.
