Trying something a little different with my chickens - working with a white clay body, adding a nice red brown underglaze, then etching different markings to show-off their feathers and personality. What do you think of this new look?

Here is the front/back of the (unfinished) piece I made, temporarily calling it Vulture Man. I envision it being shown with another figurative piece - which will be made at a later date. After it's been fired, I'll add some color to bring out the disconcerting beauty/ugliness of a King vulture.

Showing the different building stages of the backside of the figurative sculpture I'm working on: in its current resting/waiting state; without hands; without arms; without jacket or feathers.

One proud papa and his baby chick! This is the final result of the Emperor penguin I made earlier. I'm really happy with how they turned out. Slide thru the photos for more details. I have a new found love for penguins✨🐧✨

Front side view of a piece I'm working on…see how it comes together (in reverse). Made during a fantastic 5-day workshop w/Kelsey Bowen; she shared many techniques in making a gestured figure with an animal head. I'll be working on the head now and will share those images later. #ceramicsofbluesky

I've been working on this for the past week, letting it emerge as it tells me a story. His name hasn't come to me yet, but I think he's a corporate-type worker who might be disgruntled/dissatisfied/disgusted. Or maybe recently fired. Is he speaking to you? What is he saying?

Part of the fun of making my little chickens is adding lots of marks to represent their feathers and overall appearance. Any guess to how many different tools are used to make her marks?🧐

I painted the Pride colors onto a pair of wings for this little chicken then transferred them on. She seems very pleased with them ✨🌈🐔✨

After making the figure, I cut her in half to hollow her out. She is all put back together(front and back views). I'm thinking she'd like to take long naps on a window sill someplace.

She's sound asleep, dreaming those dreams of running free without a care in the world, like a child. Weightless. I shared the bottom half of this sculpture yesterday - here's the top half; still a WIP.

Applied underglaze and slip onto this Emperor penguin and his little buddy. I completely fell in love all over again with penguins when making. This is still a WIP; after its upcoming bisque firing I'll add more warm colors to certain white areas. I'll share when it's complete.🐧 🐧

I’ve been falling in love with birds lately - is it because of Spring? I started with a red-crested cardinal in February, followed by an Eastern bluebird then a robin. Then I had the bright idea to make a penguin! Now it’s a duck (WIP).🪿 I’m accruing quite the flock!

Meet George, the Great Dane. He was made in remembrance of a certain Great Dane I knew. His markings show that he is loyal, loving, and brave. The design across his nose represents his patience: waiting for your 'okay' to take it. And, oh, those puppy eyes ✨✨ #the100daysproject #ceramicsofbluesky

Queen Cat series: “Huntress". In her youth, my cat, Lana, loved to hunt. In the spirit of imagination, she’s ready to prepare her next meal. In reality, once Lana put the bird down and walked away, the bird would have a miraculous recovery and fly away. This feat would surprise both of us. Day42/100

"Getting Through the Muck and Mire (with some help)" will be at Ceramic Showcase, April 25-27. Elements of underlying meaning carry her story forward…
Jumping fish: significant life change
Wings: transcend limitations
Gladioli: strength
Dahlias: commitment
Blue dress: sadness, yet inner peace

Penguins are gosh-darn cute! This little guy started as a dad and his egg on his feet, but then I thought, a penguin chick instead? Yes, definitely! I’m still working on it - need to add some wings & color, so stay tuned. Day 39/100
