Spring Thaw glaze. This is a new combination for me, and I'm really excited about the early results
Fox Brown glaze. If I can continue to get the tiny creamy crystal formations, I'll be very happy indeed.
Blue/Green glaze. This piece was fired in a gas kiln that I no longer have access to. I'm playing with electric fired variations, and hope to be able to reproduce some of the variations this piece has.
Fox Brown glaze. The beige crystals are more prevelant on this porcelain piece.
More Spring Thaw
Another gas fired piece.
Pileated Woodpecker, one of whom occasionally appears in my Ash trees.

These pots are one of a kind, wrapped in tin foil and fired in an outside pit. The color palette is similar for each pot, but the patterns, color variation and distribution of light and dark is totally up to the flame.
These pieces were done some time ago. I'm making mostly functional work at the moment, but I know I'll be going back to making creatures. A good many of them have clay beads fired inside, which make them rattle when you shake them. They're all a good counterbalance to my more serious work: just fun, no pressure.
White faced capuchins
Father Christmas is warm-blooded, isn't he?
Small elephant sculpture, about 2 inches tall
Another small piece, three inches long

Here is where the cold-blooded live. The eggs the dinosaurs perch on have tiny beads inside to make them rattle. I tucked in the insect, too, even though he doesn't fully qualify. Still, I think he's in the right company.
