Description 27" earthenware w/ slips and underglaze

i only had this little guy for like 1hr. He came out of the kiln and went right to the gallery. The show opening is tomorrow...and i'm hoping i get a good response. This is a much larger piece than my other figures.

The show is called the ABCs of Craft. Each artist was given a letter...mine was S...and we were supposed to do a piece about that letter. I decided to do a humorous piece about my inability to spell. In a rather ironic turn of events i managed to overlook the fact that all pieces were supposed to be limited to 8" in any direction. Whoops....that dunce cap takes on new meaning.

Awesome, I am going to have to consider using underglazes in the future.

underglazes are great...makes glazing into painting.

All your work looks like it fell out of a painting.
A good painting.

A really good painting.

I second the person who said they'd love to own a piece of your work! Soon as they become avaliable online I'll be there!

Very nice piece by the way, though its pretty funny you got S.....just with the Superman imagery thing and all!

yeah...they know me pretty well there, so i think they gave me the S on purpose.

bahaha very nice. the story behind it adds to it... its nice to read something about a deviation, instead of just seeing it.
hmm another cool Boses peice, with a familiar style. I think this is the first person ive seen you make with legs hehe.
TEW THUMS UP!

yes, most of the work i've posted on here is legless...but i'm going to post 3 more pieces tonight or tomorrow that also have legs...perhaps it's the beginning of a new trend?

well you can always say that you misspeled the size too, and lucky you for getting the beloved "S"

Maybe without the cap he would have made the requirement

Spectacular. Shame about the 8" limitations, though. Nevertheless, I'm sure you will get a great response.

In addition, I would like to inform you that if you did in fact put one of your pieces up for sale on eBay, I would be sure to attempt and purchase it. I adore each and every one of your pieces.

Amazing work! I hope the craft show goes well for you. You need to make some of your works available to people ummm like me

mudmonkey In reply to nebu [2004-08-07 04:22:59 +0000 UTC]

well...hopefully i'll have some pieces available online pretty soon. i'm exploring the world of "packaging for shipping"...guess we'll see what kind of fruit it will bear.

I've been thinking of posting a couple of pieces on ebay for a while (as a lower price alternative to finding them in a gallery- only the people who bother to read my DA and livejournal would even know they were there)...i'm still thinking that might be a good idea.
