I really would love to make hundreds of these little stoats and gather them all in a field or room or something. I think Antony Gormley did something similar with little figures. :)
Anyone who's read older news on this blog will know I love snails.
Here's some new variations on the snail shell mould. I like how both turned out but especially the holey one even though it was tricky to do!
And again my little bird obsession rears it's adorable pointy beak.
The turquoise one was an experiment in over glazing an already fired glaze. It worked surprisingly well! I mixed the glaze with acrylic medium so that it would stick to the glossy fired glaze. the medium then burns away in the kiln. So it's useful to know that technique works! :)
I just realised all these are based on my obsessions.
Stoats are a faded but not forgotten muse, Snails are always fascinating to me and I still go weak at the knees when I see a beautifully designed bird like a quail.
These are all for sale!
