Sweet Seduction


This is the artwork I did for Erotic Signature. I have entered it in their "World's Greatest Erotic Art Book" competition. It is white porcelain with a clear glaze. As you can see Mermaid is quite taken with Snakeman and all his "Maleness" hmmm .

She of an Open Mind


She of an Open Mind is about 14 inches tall. Her head is hollow and open in the back thus an open mind. I guess she is sort of an abstract piece. at least my version of abstract. I really enjoyed making her. She is slabbuilt. And glazed in an untraditional way. I used raku glaze and wiped it off and then fired her in a electric kiln at a lower temperature. I love to experiment and try new things in my clay ventures.

A Trio Of Monks


The Monks were designed as creamation urns or vessels. Their heads are held on by recycled corks and are designed to come off to either store or to be used to pour . They are designed so that the back of their robes are like a pitcher and their hands,bird and book are the front handles to hold while pouring. They are currently unglazed inside and out except for their robes and the book and the bird. This is the first of my cremation vessels. I am working on more. Any ideas are welcomed.

The Prayer Vessel




The Prayer Vessel has been handsculpted . The red clay body has been left unglazed to give it a natural skin look. Only her hair and necklace have been glazed. Her head is the opening and has a recycled wine cork to hold it in place. She was designed for holding any of your dreams or prayers or stash. She is one of my favorites. She started as a pinch pot but transformed into a vessel .
