The girls are done!!!

Stick a fork in them!

Now I need a vault to put them in so that I don't have

any disasters before they get to their soon to be new home in Long Island!

That said.... I have had some other work come out but my new way to take photos is by 

an open door and right after I shot these, the sun came out!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

(works great when overcast...)

They really shrink... as you all know... 

They started at over 26" as the tallest height and 

we are down to 22 ish...

However, here is a smaller little sumpin' sumpin'

that I am saving for Vessels Gallery in Boston as a possibility for some work she will be showing!

Shhhhh....

3 Sisters....

Well.. I am done creating the girls...

These chicks are about 24 inches tall give or take so we shall see what happens as they shrink... but they had to FIT IN THE KILN....

This is a commission and my buyer wants to see how some glaze ideas I have will work on it...

The real deal is she would have loved wood fired pieces... But that ain't happnin' so...

I am going to try out some sprinkling of color on some small pieces I still have to carve a little...

Using glaze.... the clay is tan...standard 225... which I like, alone... but hopefully I can achieve something she likes.... I have some ideas...

I am also thinking a lot about pinching clay again... frankly I really like to mix up my techniques.

Bothe creatively and physically it feels good to switch around a bit especially when the thumb or brain starts to go numb and tingly...

1 down, 2 to go...

In the studio...and so it goes...

Drying a bit ... close to 25" now... They have to shrink to fit in the kiln... 

They are DYING to be carved!

These are currently being bisque fired... I did a 12 hour hold at 180 F so hopefully no explosions...

This is Chai... She is meditating... She is ZEN like that...
