Now Available at Jenny Jib, December 12th, 2016

Here are pics of new work that was dropped off at Jenny Jib in Lunenburg this past Friday.  The shop is now open every day until Christmas and has tonnes of great stuff to peruse for anyone in need of a relaxing shopping excursion to this scenic town.

There were some new experiments in this firing including a couple of large relief carved plates.  These come wired with picture hanging wire in order to hang on the wall when not in use.   

Relief carved Humpback whale plate

Relief carved Bald Eagle Plate

The relief is a bit higher in this sleeping fox 'plate' which is also wired to hang on the wall

Here is a photo of the above plate with two new fox bowls.

Next up seagulls!  A bowl and a mug - these are the first functional seagull pieces I've tried, and they were quite fun to do.

Puffin bowl - also a new product from this firing along with the next bowl...

Bald Eagle bowl

 A flounder plate, wired to hang on the wall.

Next are new, handsculpted, one sided flat ornaments.  With the exception of the lobster which ended up getting glazed, these are sanded bare clay on the back and so can be personalized with a marker or even used as gift tags.

New Christmas Ornaments at Jenny Jib, November 18th 2015

Here are pics of the ornaments from this most recent firing that I dropped off at Jenny Jib in Lunenburg on November 4th, along with some other new pieces. 

All of these are handsculpted stoneware, created in Lunenburg County the Balsam Fir Christmas Tree Capital of the world!  There are lots of tree farms near our rural home.  

These new ornaments are made with ornament hooks embedded in them, instead of heavy wire, which means they're now finished on the bottom. There were 28 of them total at Jenny's shop, they're $25 each and include a wire ornament hanger:

Lobster, whale, seagull

 

Reindeer and an owl wearing a Santa hat

Three Great White Sharks, 2 wearing Santa hats, and a baby Harp Seal which looks like it might be in some trouble...

Bald Eagle

Polar Bear and Squirrel

Flock of 5 sheep with a donkey

Four Fish

Farmyard friends: Horse, Goat, Rooster

Four doves

 

Birdfeeder Buddies: Blue Jay, Cardinal, Chickadee

Fox

The Blue Jay, from above, demonstrating how these new ornaments hang with a simple wire which is provided for all of them

I also brought in 5 older ornaments:

A seagull, displaying my new tags, and 2 fish.  These are $20 each

And finally, two Kevin O'Leary Christmas Tree Heads.  There will be another post coming up about these now that I have some nice pics of a bunch of them hanging in a hawthorn tree.

Same heads as above, front view

This has become the time of year when all I want to do is make ornaments, so I am working on another firing that will include some new whale and dolphin ornaments for the shop if all goes well!
