So since my last post i've pretty much been making different colour versions of my previous work although i do have a couple of new pieces which you'll see further down. Instead of trying to remember and show posts in order i'm just going to post pics of each piece and the different versions/colours. First a couple of Colonel Peek-a-boo's. This one has a volcano from a new piece you'll see in a moment. Next are a few more Lance Corporal Stoney's. This one was a custom piece. Kustom Lane gallery is moving to new premises and all Australian artists that have exhibited there before have been asked to contribute one piece for the opening exhibition and this will be mine. When i first made this design i had the idea to cut the mouth out of it and a section out the back where i could put a small aquarium pump and i finally got around to it. The pump fits ok but i had a lot of problems getting a hose to fit so that the water flows out the mouth. It does work but i'm going to have to play around with it to get it working exactly how i want. Unfortunately i can't post a video here so i can't show it in action although the last photo was taken with it running so you can just see the water in the mouth. Hard to tell from the pic but the mouth is cut out. This is a new piece i've made. Sometimes you don't want to share so who said you can't have your own volcano bowl. Brigadier VF1. And here is another new design. I left the design fairly simple so that i could customise them if i want straight from the mold. So far i've only glazed a few but i have some more ready to go. Also, after glazing these few i removed a section from the mold as it was making it difficult to clean up the overspill of glaze when glazng the inside so the next lot to come don't have the curved recess (right up the top in the middle). He's not very big and although he is bigger than a shot glass, that is what it was actually designed for. This is Corporal Punishment. I also have made a few goblet versions using the Colonel Peek-a-boo bowl for the top and i made a seperate base to make it more stable. So far i've only glazed these two but have a few more ready. I'm quite happy with this design. The first one was a birthday gift. This one i'm keeping. That's it at the moment.

This one has a volcano from a new piece you'll see in a moment.

This one was a custom piece.

When i first made this design i had the idea to cut the mouth out of it and a section out the back where i could put a small aquarium pump and i finally got around to it.
