Sour Only in Jest

A little lemon that sparkles more than it sulks.

Nobody dared to squeeze it.

Materials

clay

Half a lemon, and a whole lot of character. Sour? Only in name. Up close it sparkles all over, as if someone sprinkled it with sugar and then changed their mind about eating it. Its segments fan out like the rays of a small sun. I modelled it from clay and painted it. Don’t wait for any juice: it is far too busy shining.
