Finished Carving My Fish Bowl

I spent a bit of time tonight carving my fish bowl.  I think I am done.  The last touch was to add texture to my fish, although depending on the glaze, the texture may be lost :

Here it is, just before adding the texture :

I think it's done for now.  Hope to be able to glaze it in greens with red and orange for the goldfish.  Perhaps the raku firing will provide what I need, although I'm a bit afraid of it being broken while handled.  But our Cone 10 glazes don't seem to give me any of those colors, unless I can achieve it with my underglazes.  We'll see.
