'Under And Over' and Past Works
Very happy with the 'Over' portion of this piece. I think it conveys a sense of place very effectively.
I think the trees contrast well against the moon and sky. Next stop, oak trees...
...although I have a definite fondness for the fish on the left here, also.
Very happy with the 'Over' portion of this piece. I think it conveys a sense of place very effectively.
So far in this set I've made a bowl, plate and tealight holder, all featuring the same sculptured heart. I'm very pleased with them, and thinking very, very carefully about glazes...
Very, very happy with how this turned out, and very much looking forward to the second firing...

New Bisque Pieces
These are my very first start to finish clay works. They've just been through their first firing, and now I'm in the process of picking a colour scheme...
'Under And Over'
I wanted to give an impression of place in this piece; in this case, the 'viewer' is located on the surface of a lake. The inside of the bowl is from the perspective of lying on the water, looking up at the moon. The outside, lying on the water looking down. I finished last week, and it's just back from firing. Very happy with it, especially the 'Over' view.
These are my current works in progress; I think the process is important, so I'll be using this section to show how each work develops.
I'm really pleased with the way this works. It's ended up slightly more stylised than I thought it would, but that seems to work quite well with the overall style.
I used a special raised glaze for the text, and wanted to make it appear to be a flight trail. Writing with a very stiff glaze on an angled surface is an experience, to say the least...
Once fired, the contrast is very clear, as is the haze around the moon. Very happy with this piece.

Peter Pan Inspired Lamp
This was a commission, and the first time I'd attempted to paint a sky. I absolutely love this piece, both fired and unfired.
