Daffodils and Mosaic Vase

I bought an unfinished clay vase in 

Upstate New York from 

The Wizrd of Clay Shop 

(http://www.wizardofclay.com)

I put a sealer on it before I applied the mosaic tiles.

The texture and colors are pleasing, fun project!

March in Michigan

The result of an unseasonably warm day in March
 is a fun stepping stone.

Elephant Wash

Elephant Sculpture gets a concrete wash.
First coat of concrete takes a few days to apply, a second coat follows.

Bubble Bath

I am playing with bathroom designs 

for a bathroom renovation...someday.

Bird's the Word

My "Cranwich" (a cross between a Crane and Ostrich)
is getting her tile feathers put on with thin set.

New Elephant Sculpture

Jim spends a snowy Sunday in the shop working
on a sculpture that will have
a water feature.
A spray of water will fall from the trunk
into a bird bath
on the elephant's back.

Spring Leaf

Storing this castor Bean Leaf indoors until Spring.
Hand made from imprinting a fall leaf into tinted cement.

Poka Dot Dogs

3 dogs a-leaping, really, there are 3 Dalmatian dogs
leaping at Kelly and Laura's house.
They raise beautiful show dogs, now they have a mosaic piece
to add more dots to their home!

Family Walk

Here is the layout of a new design.
It will be a gift to Jimmy.
I have met a wonderful Ann Arbor porcelain artist,
Mary Dixon, who makes (and owns) fabulous dogs!

Here is the project a week later,
coming along nicely.
No sign of those Corgis yet.

Here is the finished project,
a design of Jimmy and our 2 dogs
on a "walk about".
Mary custom designed the figure of Jimmy,
I love her work!

Gone Ice Fishing

This piece is 16" X 24". It is lighter than the photograph but I am showing it dark to pick up the design.
Made with high gloss glass with an iridescent finish, hard to photograph.
