Pot roast



Embryonic pots. The cone shaped one was kind of ho-hum. So I gave it a handle. A special ear shaped handle. Like that freaky mouse with the human ear growing out of it's back. The brown one came out lopsided and all melty. So I turned it into a pot inspired by dinosaur eggs being excavated by the Field Museum. And I made the round one while thinking about cantalopes. Sometimes, one just thinks about melons behind a potter's wheel.



First batch came back from the glaze kiln. I like this one the best.



I accidentally created purple. Everybody at the studio was asking me how I did it. They've been trying to get purple for ages. I have no clue how I made purple.



The first of my Jetsons series. The inside came out great, it's hard to see though.



The green part looked like the skins of the beautiful bronze statues I saw in Italy. On the other side of the green, I accidentally created purple again using a different method that I don't remember. The folks at the clay studio were pretty frustrated at this point.
