Pushing along and finishing up.


This top image is of some pendants I made towards the end of September and put them up for bisque firing sometime last week.  I am very excited to see how these hold up through the firing because I have not made a lot of pendants like this before.  I decided to make a list of various things that I love and have always been intrigued by and interested in, and turned each into a pendant.  From an emu head, to a jelly fish, to a russian nesting doll, to a pineapple and then some.  There is a lot I did not get to making, but this was a great start for me.


This image I took this past week.  I made these pendants towards the end of April of this year and had them bisque fired in June.  I had decided to paint them by layering different acrylic paints and washes of color to complete them since I did not have access to a kiln at the time to finish them any other way.  Since then, they have sat in the trunk of my car for the last few months, unloved, and unfinished in my eyes.  I finally took them out of hibernation and put string on them and am quite pleased with the final result.  I will be selling these at an upcoming art show in the park called ART ATTACK! which will be taking place on October 23rd in Victory Park in Manchester, NH from 12-4.  I will have other work there for sale as well so come check it out.
