Assembling Clay Shapes

I really do make other things besides hearts.  These two images show the concept stage of an organic flower shape.  I have been making many smaller clay shapes in order to assemble them  into larger shapes like this organic flower.  The flower made it through the bisque firing and is waiting to be glazed.  I am getting ready for a show at Lakeland Community College next month.  The work needs to be delivered in a few weeks.  Off to the studio to glaze for a few hours tonight while listening to the Grammy Awards.

More Hearts

More hearts for American Crafts and Jewels in Carmel!  Never in my wildest dreams would I have suspected that I would be so crazy about making hearts.  The glaze color and pattern have been so experimental.  I just reorganized my chemical area and am wondering what other glazes I can come up with.  YUM!!!  Hey Iva, the hearts are getting plump again.  I only see two hearts on a diet!

FEBRUARY the month of  LOVE.                                  Chocolates, flowers and jewelry usually win out for VD Day, but if you would like to pick up one of my lovely porcelain hearts for your loved one(s) stop by any of these gallery/boutique's for a heart as I will not be standing on a street corner waving my hearts for sale.  I will leave that for the sale of flowers.
