New Work! Part Three of Three


And here's the rest of the work! Pretty happy with how it all turned out and it feels great to be producing again - there are some ornaments that I had in the firing as well but I didn't photograph those.  There were also some more fox figurines and a sheep.  Lots of work!  A bunch of it is going to The Dart Gallery in Dartmouth on Friday May 1st.  Here are links to the other two posts:
New Work - Part One
New Work - Part Two

More Rabbits!  This big rabbit bowl is the biggest animal bowl I've ever made! And there is a small and larger figurine in the same glaze.

Rat figurine

I'm so excited about this, it was inspired by a piece of silk I bought in Taiwan with dragons and phoenixs all over it, or I suppose the bird might be "Garuda".  The clouds are also stoneware and I'm planning on gluing all the pieces to a board (not this board, and maybe a rectangle), painting the background blue and calling it "polarity".  I have a lot of other ideas for wall hanging pieces about contrast inspired by the Yin Yang symbol. 

Two more polar bear figurines

A larger standing fox bowl than the one in the last post

I finally fired the 2 doves I made with the serenity prayer on them,  I posted about making these back in Dec 2013.  Well! A lot has happened since then! It's all good.  Up with serenity.

And finally I had to laugh at the irony that this "serenity dove" was fine when it came out of the bisque firing, but came out of the glaze firing with a cracked wing.  I guess it's a sign that I need to keep it!
