Kinny - We will have to plan another Art Jam soon! It's really cool to be around like minded people and having fun. PS: I'm trying to figure out the Facebook thingy...I'll get it. MadDoggie & Wendy - Thanks you two....you both should grab some clay and give this one type of hand building I'm demoing a try, you may like it? tikiedge - wow, thank you for the really kind words! It really has been a hoot here in the studio over the past several years. There has been many very talent folks show up to play. We have all learned from each other, and have formed some really wonderful bonds. These are the good old days! SIR GROG - Thank you brother for posting all those demo shots :) Babalu really needs to get back on the treadmill...too much driveway standing. Aloha - You name it, Kinny can paint with it. :) SIR B - Why thank you boss! Very kinds words from the "King" of figurative work. Come over, let's play in the shop soon! Johnnie - Thanks for stopping in. I really hope your still playing with clay out there. I really like your work. It's wonderful to see someone out there throwing, altering, and firing to cone 10. G - always good to have you bounce onto brother! Well, on to the SeaHare / MerBunny...I had to wait til this weekend to put her back together. This has kind of turned into a hand-building demo of sorts. And I would remind you all that this is just one way of doing a hand built sculpture in clay. It's a way that I have become comfortable with over time. I also might have mentioned this before somewhere back, but before I close my sculptures back up completely to where the inside will never be seen again (unless you break it open) I always write a little personal prayer, or saying...or something in there. I have had so many things done like this come and go out of my studio that there is no way I remember what I wrote in all of these things. It's just a little way of making a connection to the work before I let it go...kind of like putting a note in a bottle and tossing it into the tide. :) All put back together and detailed. I will dry this a little slower...I will fire it a little slower too. More after the glaze firing. Thanks again for visiting the thread -
