[Jar with Lid]

That lid is beautiful...lovely vessel.

[Black Mountain clay + porcelain slip]

Awww! What a sweet lil` cutiepie! ♥

[Cats Drinking Porcelain]

Cats are a pain in the butt to draw, so I commend you. I love the work you do with them! Working with animal imagery is the best.

[Day 4 - Faenza - Maijolica Studio Visit2]

GAH!! Why can`t MY maijolica ever turn out this nice?! I prolly used a bum recipe...geez, if I turned out ware this great, I`d be all over that process. Mine turned out like some kinda Dali bad acid trip... :S

[Aurlia gouthroii Erodium]

These are freaking great! The colors and organic forms are so striking--beautiful!

[shaded_landscape_002.jpg]

Wow!! This is fantastic! The surface has a soft visual quality that reminds me of black velvet. ♥ Sehr schön!

[P1080878]

Wow. This piece could tell a thousand stories with a single glance. Very powerful!

[saggarjar]

This piece is so poetic...it reminds me of a heart in a lot of ways. You could really delve into the imagination with this one. Mysterious and utterly lovely!

[ferric chloride + salt and miracle grow]

Sweet mother of mercy. This is beyond gorgeous...I don`t even have the words to say how much I love that pot!!! The reds, the color transitions...a triumph of pure beauty. Bravo. ♥

OH MY GAD...Your gallery is CANDYLAND. Hnnnghhhh!!! *scampers off to drool uncontrollably*

[Sgraffito Eastern Dragon Bowl]

Thank you! I was super happy with the yellow-green gradient I made in the scales. Though it took forever, I felt leaving it black and white wouldn`t do this beauty justice.

[Squirrel Ramen Bowl]

Hehe, thanks. I have never really taught...given tips and been told I should teach, but ehh. I`d rather sit in my living room/studio with my bunnies and my fella and make stuff. All I can say is to study shapes and features of what makes something cute. Googly eyes are a good start.

[Guinea Pig Cup]

I cheat and use Amaco`s Artist Choice lowfire collection. I over-fire to get a different look than the samples (they say ^05, I go to ^03, manual sitter). Also makes my ware more vitreous to fire it a little more toasty.

[wave Jar]

How in the heck do you do that? Incised lids? Omg. Pleeeez tell! This piece is brilliant! ♥

[Polydactyl Max]

Awww, thank you! I love squishy kitty tummies. I wish I got to make cats more often...but, buns and guineas will always be my favorite! ♥

[Growth in my reclaim bucket]

Mine gets that fuzz, too. I just brush it off and stuff. It grows more on my plaster slab I use to recycle than the bucket, though. :3

[100_0549.JPG]

HNNNNGHHHHH....!!!!! HOLY GORGEOUS. I am literally drooling. This is just spectacular!! EXQUISITE piece! I`d kill for one of these...Please come back to the forum! ♥♥♥

[100_0553.JPG]

Okay, that is serendipity in action. What a luscious diffusion of color! *drool*

[The Hutch]

Thank you! I am really happy everyone is coming out of the woodwork and checking out the wonderful stuff here! Rabbits are so much fun to sculpt--I really love them. I have eight house bunnies that are spoiled rotten, and they are a huge inspiration to me. ♥

[Work in progress (forum name)]

Beautiful!!! Almost has a watercolor quality to it.

[Hotot D'Blanc Cup]

Omg...Beatrix Potter is one of my most influential artists. You just totally made me feel like a bazillion dollars!!! ♥♥♥♥

[butterfly Mug]

HNNNNNGHHHHH I LOVE THIS. Your work is so rad! This mug is soooo beautiful--I wouldn"t be able to part with it!

[branch vase]

That is one sweeeeet pot.

[Three Hares]

Heehee! This piece took me almost a week to underglaze, and was my finest achievement for a long time. I was seething mad when I found out it arrived broken! Gaaah... But, thank you! I really miss the softness of ^6 firing sometimes...♥

[English Lop Mug]

Thank you! I have an english lop named Thanatos. ♥ He is really rambunctious!
