Easter Morning

Don't usually "publish" such bad photos (cell phone) but I did not have my real camera to capture this amazing sunrise service on the beach Easter Morning.  The local Lutheran church has been having a service for the past 9 years in the sand...  This year no waves were on the ocean and a beauty of a sunrise with 800 to 1000 I would guess.

New pieces fired and not.

Got this one back last week and liked the texture and colors, First I used a crackle glaze and with oxides. 2" slabs (4) of clay cut away to create the form. Cone 5
















This one is slab built using my great new mallet by David Ulschmid with www.wispwoods.blogspot.com.  Not fired yet, very thin side walls.
Porcelain cone 5 clay and banding wheel hand turned with rib to give very soft surface treatment (unusual for me.)

Winter at the coast

On our last visit to the SC coast I caught this one from an inlet fishing spot in last light of the day.

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.
