An Instant Antique

Well, this fella sort of turned out differently than I had hoped, but he is still rather cool. He looks like an antique jade figure now instead of clay. I am a bit disappointed that his nose and left cheek didn't fill better, but oh well, that is the surprise of ceramics.

Sometimes I Paint, too

Good morning all!

I thought that I might bore you all with a recent attempt at painting, since I lent my camera to one of my daughter's friends, so I can't post my most recent ceramics creations.

This is one I did for my digital media class. It was a lot of fun to do! I hope you enjoy it.

Pinto Lane property at a reduced price

Does anyone remember my friend's property for sale in Sedona? Well, they have reduced the price by a remarkable amount, and you should all go and refresh your memory! It is a lovely spot in Arizona and now at an even better price.

Please, go and look for yourself what a great place it is.

He's Finally Finished!

So, What do you think?

Thanks for being patient, but I had to display my finished project at the campus for a while as part of my grade. I am rather proud of the way that he finally turned out, despite the fact that the grapes are rather pale, because the glaze ran. It is really a foil to the sheen of the iron oxide on the face with the creamy shine of the glazed leaves and grapes. But because of the fact that I did the whole thing to look antiqued, it works!~ The photo that I took this time is at slighly a different angle and so the face doesn't have quite the same wistful look, but he is really nice as a finished piece.

I look forward to some honest critique if you would, please! Since I am a new artist, that will be the way I learn. Thanks!
