From the album: MOAR STUFFS
This bowl was a process, to say the least. I threw it with whiteware clay, messed with the rim, and covered it completely with black slip. Then, I carved the dragon. I bisqued it, and since carving all those scales took away all of my sanity, I underglazed color onto the bisque, and re-bisqued it. Covered in shiny clear and fired to ^04. Dang thing had little crawl spots, grrr...re-fired to ^03 after adding a bit more glaze to the bald spots. VoÃla! Sold it a few years ago for a stupidly low $150... *facepalm* I'dve charged four times that if I was thinking straight. Live and learn!© Sarah Alderete

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
Cavy Fire Studios commented on PSC's gallery image in Browse Member Galleries
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 -

Urns are always difficult for me. My animals are beloved members of my family, so making urns is really hard for me to do. However, it always really humbles me to know my work can aid someone in their grieving process. Max was the best friend of a boy of three until he was sixteen, so this piece had to be very, very special. Fired to ^03.© Sarah Alderete

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. ♥ -

Omg...Beatrix Potter is one of my most influential artists. You just totally made me feel like a bazillion dollars!!! ♥♥♥♥ -
HNNNNNGHHHHH I LOVE THIS. Your work is so rad! This mug is soooo beautiful--I wouldn"t be able to part with it! -
That is one sweeeeet pot. -
I think "cup" and "bowl" are waaaaay too open-ended to try and categorize. Maybe "yunomi" or "beer mug" to narrow it down. Ooh! How about colors? Like a "green" or "blue" theme. ♥

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...♥ -

Oh...my...guinea. This...this is pure poetry. The grace and elegance!!! It literally made my eyes misty. THIS IS AMAZING. ♥ -
I wonder if the Admins might consider making the challenge its own section, like "In The Studio," for example! Lotsa people seem interested, so this has the potential to REALLY jam up other forum topics. It'd be a great way to keep things nice 'n tidy, not to mention easy to find! My topic suggestion is "heritage." Like, make a piece that's about one's cultural background! We have a pretty diverse group here; could be fun!

This was a piece I did in college--I sure miss midrange firing. Sadly, the postal worker who delivered this big bowl to the lady who ordered it from me just slammed the box it was in on her cement porch, and my beautiful work broke in three pieces. :'( GAH... Fired to ^6 in a Skutt electric. White stoneware.© The Earthen Cavy/Sarah Alderete
