A"ight my Homies.
Here are a few things. I'll get photos of the other stuff in a day or so.
I think I am going to start putting my birds on branch like pedestals. I finally have the time to work the clay in a patient manner, meaning I won't feel rushed to get something out, which I've been dealing with for the last, geez, 6 or 7 years.
I've got some mugs in the kiln right now (it's at 372 degrees F) that I will pull out tonight. I think they will be pretty cool and fun. Gotta make stuff that's gonna sell.
Ummm, I think that's all I have to say right now. Thanks for all the input!

Oh, and I love that everyone saw birds in that painting.
Just recently I created some test ornaments for some holiday showcase coming up. They were suppose to be non-objective. I was to make the shapes and a friend is going to paint them. Well, guess what they look like? No, not cats...birds. go figure.

Oh wow, Beth - these are simply superb! Primal and iconic - they scream of the essence of birds Very, very elegant and extremely beautiful - these are art-forms and commercial items at the same time. . . beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

Tim, primal and iconic is exactly what I want from these birds. Thank you...you know me too well.
I like bird #3 too...it has a quality of depth in the clay that I enjoy.
Thank you Colleen, I really like the shininess of the first one too...I don't use that glaze much, but when I do, I make sure it's purpose is for the good.

Very strong, and 'primal and iconic'!
'Primal and Iconic'....a new comedy double act...?
Serious comment: brilliant sculptures....:t:

C'est pas ma faute, je suis anglais.
I'm so glad Tim's words sum up what I feel about these lot - saves me a lot of typing. They look so tactile, they really make me want to get some clay and squeeze it about a bit. Pure pleasure.

Here are a few mugs that I am trying out. I like them. This is the first 'batch'. Unfortunately, because I am left-handed, as I created them, I forgot that there were right-handed people out there, so...well, if you hold a mug with your right hand, you might get poked in the eye.
I made a little bird sculpture that turned out fine with the exception of it tipping over in the kiln because it was a tad top heavy.
Oh and the first photo is my typical pots with birds on them. They're working out fine.
