Penguins aplenty!

Made these for a custom order. I made 3 extras, but I think I may keep one for myself ;)

SDKITTENS

I donated a mug for this basket for SDKITTENS in San Diego. It was put together by one of my awesome customers (who donated one of her own mugs, too! she rocks...). The auction brought in enough to fully rescue 6 orphaned and ill kittens from the local SPCA. If not for kitties, then why? :)
(just noticed, it is SD kittens, kinda like Skeletal Dropkick... hehe)

FLAMES!

Little happy flames! the first ones came out of the kiln yesterday. Much fun! I will have more made in about a week. Logs and clouds, too :)

That garlic demon...

Well. One of them died in the bisque fire. It is my educated guess that I did not let it dry out enough. Someday, I may learn that lesson... but, you do get to see how nicely I am throwing lately. Those are some pretty even walls.


And then there is the surviving piece...

Today's throw

Threw this stuff this morning. The big domes with a hole in the top are Yarn bells. Not sure that they will be better than a yarn bowl, but I will test them out when they are done :)

big 'ol bowls!

I got a special order for a coupla big big bowls...I have to say that I have not thrown that much clay in awhile. I am afraid my arms will be sore tomorrow ;) I would say each bowl was about 5lbs of clay. A lot to muscle around on the wheel when your hands are small like mine. At least, that is what I tell myself so I won't bed bad about being wimpy...
I did 4, but the 3rd one got all wobbly and died on the wheel...It is now sitting in a bag to be recycled as soon as it dries out a bit...
