Another little bird this morning. We have these sweet little birds here and I always have them in my garden.

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.
