BronzClay Eye of Ra

Working with bronzclay today; a custom order Eye of Ra piece is finally dried and is being fired in the kiln now.  Excited to see how it turns out after it cools.  This piece has taken me a while to get right – looking for a perfectly ancient looking piece when done. Designing and creating something different – looking for the spirit of Ancient Egypt to come through this piece.

Birthday Bracelets

Custom bracelets commissioned by a very thoughtful young man for three wonderful ladies in his life who all happen to have just about the same birthday.  Now that the gifts have been given I can post pics.  Gorgeous birthstone bracelets  – peridot and raw ruby make up these lovely wrist treasures for his three favorite ladies.  Peridot for his mother and sister whose early August birthday is the same day and raw ruby for his niece who is  a late July baby.

Clay and Heat

As the heat continues here in Texas (triple digits that I personally do not mind) I find I am working with several forms of clay.  Polymer clay for making molds - which means heating the house up to bake the  poly-clay.  Then working with metal clay and firing up the ol' kiln - heat is the theme this week!!

Hunting Vision

From time immemorial artistic insights have been revealed to artists in their sleep and in dreams, so that at all times they ardently desired them.
