Making Progress... March 28, 2015

Here are some photos of various figurines, larger animal figures and bowls I've been working away at.  There are a bunch more pieces that aren't included in this post!  

I like photographing sculptures in the greenware stage especially when I try something new, as everything doesn't always make it through the firings unscathed.  My success rate is getting better though!  

All of the pieces in this post are cone 6 stoneware.

My Glazing/Kiln shed earlier this week, under this winter's giant snowfall!  Big thanks to my husband Brendan for digging out a trail to it!

Lots of shredded newspapers all around the inside of the shed which has apparently become a winter haven for some real creatures.  In previous years there's been a ground hog living below it; wonder if he's hibernating...
I love making fox figurines, and for this firing have made a couple large ones as well as a sleeping fox bowl.  There are a couple of standing fox bowls too that didn't make it in the photo.

Bunnies!  3 bowls, 2 large figurines and some smaller figurines.

2 Owl bowls and some Owl figurines

A flock of Sullivan's Pond Geese figurines, eager to migrate to the Dart Gallery in Dartmouth

A large Puffin Figurine! Haven't tried one this size before so I hope he turns out.  He'll be around 6.5" tall after firing

A sled dog (malamute) and a wolf figurine

Squirrels!



Mountain Goat bowl and figurine

Four of the large figurines having a meeting.

Beavers!  including a beaver bowl and a beaver figurine wearing a sou'wester, hope he turns out!

Buffalo figurines and a Bowlfalo, a tribute to the 3 years I spent living in Regina
Bear figurines and a bear bowl.
