FLYING CROW

3.5"x11"  black glazed terra cotta crow. Hand built from terra cotta clay and fired. Wired for hanging.

A flying crow! Hang it on a garden gate or anywhere for that matter! It's large enough to make a statement! Crows are our friends!!

GREEN BIRD

10.5"x 5"hand made clay bird embellished with colorful broken bits of pottery.

I know, it's not really a green bird. I was loving the contrast of the pinks and greens and white potterie pieces. These birds are very sweet in the garden as well as in the home. They are weather proof with a sealer.

VALENTINE CROW

8"x3"  terra cotta hand built crow with heart

Yes, more crows.I just pulled him from my kiln this morning. I love to make them, paint them, photograph them, watch them, feed them!!  This crow has a clay heart glazed in red around his neck. He is made of terra cotta clay and glazed in rich black.
