I have a confession to make; I've been on vacation from work for the past 2 weeks and I've squandered a good part of that time off making bird ceramics!!! - But I loved every minute of it, so relaxing. I give Buzzy crap because he carves tikis in his living room but my wife lets me play with mud in the kitchen, I guess I don't have much room to talk :lol:

Here's the Papuan Frogmouth Owl I started last evening, it'll get some clean-up as it dries. The construction was a bit of a stretch for me- I usually find or make some sort of a form and mold the clay around it. This one I coiled and pinched to get the shape I wanted. I'm not sure what it's purpose will be - it's only about 1 1/2 inch deep, if nothing else it would make a great ashtray :lol:

Edit - I'm already hogging up this thread, I didn't want to bump it again but here's my Frogmouth with some underglaze painted on. Maybe ready to go in the kiln tomorrow?
