Eagle Spirit

"The Eagle flies the highest and sees the furthest of all creatures. The Eagle is a messenger to the Creator. During the Four Sacred Rituals we will wear an Eagle Feather in our hair. To wear or to hold the Eagle Feather causes our Creator to take immediate notice. With the Eagle Feather the Creator is honored in the highest."

Eagle Spirit is my latest ceramic piece.  It is done in acrylics and oils.

The Dragon of Reflection

This is a dragon I am currently working on. I'll post a photo as a "progress picture" and post the finished piece soon. This Dragon of Reflection was a custom order, it has been sold, thank you.

My latest ceramic piece: Castle on a Hill

This piece is approximately 10" high and is made of bisque ceramic using acrylics. I've also added a touch of very fine glitter, and three crystal beads to add sparkle and magic.

Ceramic Pueblo Scene Fridgie Magnet

Here is a small fridgie magnet with a southwestern pueblo scene on it. The colors are darker than in actuality.

 I'll post two photos, as the second is a bit blurry, but better color and detail.

A Tiny Ceramic Cow Skull

A tiny ceramic cow/steer skull - these can be made into fridgie magnets, or as part of a southwestern scene.

Ceramic Desert Tortoise

We've finished the ceramic Desert Tortoise. If you placed a quarter (coin) at his foot, it would be about the same size as his front foot. Done in acrylics and oils, with a matte seal finish.

This tortoise is modeled after the Sulcata Tortoise, native to more northern parts of Africa. 

Here in Arizona, our desert tortoises look very similar. 

Tortoises can live up to 100 years, and grow very large.
