Paint Brush Pot

This sweet pot was going to be a treasure pot but the lid had an unfortunate meeting with the floor.... now it holds my paintbrushes!  I may make more pots somewhat like this to hold the rest of my tools....I like the way they fan out...makes it easy to grab just the right one.

Star Angel

The angel that will go with the moon wings (if all goes well). She's not as cross eyed as she looks in the picture.....phone camera, questionable lighting, etc....

Moon Wings

Somewhat out of focus moon wings for an angel who is holding a star.....the little hook part is very important for balance.....at least I'm hoping it will be....

Tree Wings

Tree wings for the new tree angel I'm working on!  I ended up removing the bird and the nest....they just didn't do much for me.

Working My Way Through The M's

While all the various Mary's are drying I thought I'd make a mermaid tile.  My last tile experiment didn't go very well so I've been doing some reading and some pondering and I think this one might make it!  I still need to work on her hair and the crown of her head...... the bits of paper on her tail will burn out in the bisque....mostly, I'm pleased.

Finished Ginko Angel

The ginko angel from several weeks ago...finished!  I got the idea for her wings from a print of an arts and crafts wallpaper block....she's holding a ginko leaf and there's a sort of oceany thing happening on the front of her....I'm quite pleased with her.

Three Mary Icon Boxes

I am SO pleased with these!  I wish the clay would stay this color...I wouldn't bother glazing them...I'm sure they'll turn out beautiful after being raku fired though....can't wait, can't wait!

Some More Mary

I know it looks odd to have some fired and some not fired art together....I just needed to see how Mary was going to fit together....hopefully I'll be able to bisque by the end of the week (it's been so damp lately that the clay is taking forever to dry)...I think I'm going to like this Mary.....although I've already got some new ideas for the next one!

More Mary

Well.....I've learned quite a bit working on this Mary idea.  I'm still going to finish the neck and shoulders of this one....and I am pleased....she's just not quite what I was seeing in my head....close though!
