WILLOW

Newest heart just finished this morning. More fun!! Made on my clay fired base. Scalloped and embellished with hand made painted pieces and shards.

BIRDS in PORCELAIN

3"x4" handbuilt porcelain clay birds .
New birds this morning, more soon. I have glazed these with a clear glass glaze fired in to bring out the colors of the feathers.I think I like it better!

PORCELAIN BIRDS

2" to 4" tall. Birds made of porcelain. Hand built and hand painted.
These happy little birds bare a loose resemblance to a robin, goldfinch and sparrow.
The birds out side my studio door yesterday were singing and scuffling around in the trees and flowers with the blue jays coming by for their usual hand fulls of peanuts. A simply perfect day to be forming and painting a likeness of my charming friends.

BIRD NEST

3"x 1.5" hand built porcelain nest.

Being unglazed this has a different look I think than the others I've made with glazes.The color here is from under glazes, fired into the clay.

I'm working on some others with a red clay and very little paint, more fun!

The birds and un glazed,unpainted nests will be going to "Birds of a Feather" a sweet shop here all about birds and bird related things. You will also find antiques, jewelry and yummy taffy!!!

My paintings of birds and all of my paintings and clay work are available at the Chambers Gallery in Cambria.

BIRDS

I'm having fun with these little birds. They are made of porcelain and hand built. 2"x 2 1/2".

I have several in the firing right now in different colors. These are painted with pure clay colored pigment, fired and left unglazed,to give a soft look.

SOLD!!

WHEN PIGS FLY!!

6x10"" Hand built pig with wings! Just finished some clay work. This pig has to be fired and glazed but I wanted to put him on. He is made of white earthen wear clay and will be glazed white and as soon as he's fired I will put him back on. I'm concentrating on clay work right now and will be painting again soon. This piece is for Heather's Gallery.

WHITE BIRD

hand built earthenware clay 5" tall

Fresh out of the kiln this morning, I made 2. I'm not sure if I will leave them white or paint them! I do like the pristine white glaze but I also like color! Maybe just leave them white for a while and make up my mind........A dilemma!!

BIRD HOUSE

10"x5" piqueassiette . I have been working on bird houses for the last couple of weeks. I have 4 done and will post the other two tomorrow. The bird houses are first made in clay and fired then the shards are cut and applied. Then grouted. I have two more that I will post tomorrow!

RAKU PEAR

This new pear clay raku piece is 6"x4". Hand built in white stone ware clay.Taken out of the kiln last night. I have made more pears, just love the raku finish on them. I have to decide if I want to stay with the white or try some yellow. I think the next one will be a deep yellow!!

Just took them out of the kiln this morning.They vary in size from 1x1" to 1 and1/4" there many different words,I am delivering 50 today .They are fun on a book shelf,coffee table , anywhere you want a little reminder.

Colorful Raku Birdhouse

4x12 " I love to work in clay and hand building. I have my own kiln. I love the bright colors of this, the green is a luster and while the yellow is as colorful as sunshine the little pink ball I think sets it off. This was very fun to make and a real wow when I took it out of the kiln!!
