In My Snow Island

This pelican design was done in underglazes and will be

fired with a transparent glaze over all.



During my enforced vacation/marooned status, I did get some ceramics done. I brought some bisqueware, cone 6 maiolica base, and underglazes into the house and painted birds on the bisqueware. It was so much fun.




I've noticed Canadian Geese in the air and on the ground

even during this bad weather. They are inspiring to see.

This one is painted in the style of maiolica and will be

high fired.

The Raven is a bird I am always in awe of. Wonderful
birds and the symbol of the trickster.
I used underglazes to paint the bird on the bowl, it will
be covered with a transparent glaze and high fired.
