Natures Architecture

Just having a little fun at lunch playing architecture with some mud dauber nests I have fired over the last year.  These insects have habitat down to a science...I fired some natural, some with glaze, and some with iron oxides.

A little 2d today

On way to pick up a pizza Sunday night and the sky opened out.  Took the photo with my cell phone and abstracted in photoshop a little...

New sculpture out of kiln

Got the fired results from the kiln Sat. morning. Iron and copper oxide on the slab built piece, approx 12" ht. Clear glaze and red under glaze at the raw edges. Hand rubbed the oxides to give non uniform look.

Winter in the cold

We had a small snow with cold temp's this weekend and this is a result of walking thru the woods.

New sculpture for January

3 views of new work, to be bisk fired and then glazed. Approx 12" tall. My object was to make a sculptural hollow form and then cut away part of the body. I liked it when the clay started to open up but not quite thru the body completely leaving a ragged edge as oppossed to the smooth curved outside form. 

New blog of interest

My son has now started his own blog, those of you who know him and have been following his fashion design activities...http://willmcleod.blogspot.com

Trip to the Farmers Market Photos

A great 28 degree trip to the market today!  Great stuff from the earth. Had to do some photo fun with it before the table. Took a little artistic liberty with them. Have never seen cauliflower like this or the color of these carrots.
