Working on an orangutan sculpture. It started as a different sculpture, shown in 2nd pic; however, I wasn’t satisfied w how the piece was working. It morphed into the first pic. Not sure yet what the orangutan will hold, but whatever object it will move between hands and feet; mixed clay bodies.

The orangutan was gas fired to cone 10 this past week. Multiple clay bodies. I put a pocket watch in instead of an hourglass because the hourglass wasn’t as sophisticated as I think it needed to be. Titled, β€œrunning out of time.”

Nearly done with my cheetah wall hanging. Still have some finishing touches, but I’m enjoying this series of animal wall hangings!

My lion wall hanging just came out of the salt/soda kiln. Doug put it on the floor of the kiln where a lot of the soda gathered. No glazes just engobes. I included the bisqued piece to slow the results. Goes along w my beaded animals I got in South Africa😊

Working on another orangutan. This one will have its arm resting on some sort of an object, probably a stump of sorts. Looking forward to firing it! Multiple clay bodies.

If you make a campaign promise as specific as you will "immediately bring prices down, starting on day one," then I don't want to hear any shit excuses about why you're not doing it.

I don't care that it's "only" been 45 days. You said starting ON DAY ONE, motherfucker.

I am working on a new animal bust, I call it β€œleopard with raised spotsβ€œ. Still need to finesse some of the color and the eyes, but I’m enjoying this piece.

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who is thoroughly inspired to see the thousands of fired-up Americans who turned out IN EVERY STATE to protest the insane trump executive orders, firings, and policies he's pushing.

LET'S FUCKING GO!!!!!!!!πŸ™πŸ’ͺ
