A Freckled Moon

A moon that came down lower than the clouds and stayed to shine on a pin.

The full moon can wait; she likes herself just like this.

Materials

clay

They say the moon is made of cheese. This one doesn’t deny it. Yellow, with raised drops like little bubbles and a few red freckles, as any proper moon should have. I modelled it from clay and painted it. Shaped like a sickle, yet it reaps nothing, it only shines. The night can wait; this moon is up in the daytime too.
