Unfinished Mask

Description

Looking for opinions here folks....

When I made this mask the plan was to leave certain areas un-glazed so I could stain them with something matte...  I had three plans...  tea or coffee (Yeah...you can do that), or India ink.  I figured if the coffee/tea didn't look good I could always do the ink over them, because black wins.

....  Now that I've got 'er fired though I sort of like the white.  If I destroy it there's no going back. 

If it helps the ultimate plan is to use some of the ungodly amounts of copper scrap wire as well as some of my gold and red jewelry wire to make a twisted headdress....perhaps with some beads or dichroic glass worked in. 

Any thoughts?  Heaven knows I have few enough thoughts...I was hoping to borrow some of yours.

Could go super hardcore and use blood (IDK whose blood, but someone's). Starts out red and turns a rusty brown as it dries, ages and oxidizes.

Personally I like it the way it is now, with the white.
