I ran out of steam before I could completely finish....there's always tomorrow.
Finished foiling the remaining pieces and soldered both sides today. A couple more hours and it should be done.
This is the latest in my poppy oil painting "series". Measures 32 X 48 ", oil on canvas. Based on This Photo
Fire's riding to valleys of death
while shadows are rising from bloody hells
Fire's riding to Hargor, the town
where evil and terror conquered the clouds
We sing to the wind the legend of the kings
to spread our heart to the kingdom of dusk
where heroes are lost, where now reigns the Shadow Lord!

Quick WIP shot of my current project for Losthaven.
Not too much left to do on this, but I couldn't get her done before having to go to work today.
This is a Fairyland PukiPuki Piki in normal skin.
Day 2 of the children being back at school and I was happy to get an hour in at the sewing machine after a very long time away. This is a sneak peek at a new project.
I love graph paper. This is the planned block layout for "spools," a selvage quilt I'm making for Quilting in the Pines 2011.
Grease Alley, an industrial backwater neighborhood in a blade-runner/fifth-element genre. These shops back onto a trash and old parts-strewn gully, where the junk skiff comes by to pick up broken components, industrial leftovers, and the occasional "borrowed" part.
Soon to be covered in a mosaic.
The next 3 art festivels that I will be in are of my photography. So I thought I would make a side table to put my business cards and postcards on. This way I can show people what they can look forward to seeing from me.
I'm also making a sign with my name on it to hang in the booth. Still working on the design for that.
How long does it take to form. tune, and decorate an ocarina of this size? The answer is probably, "Too long to ever recover the time invested". Ultimately, the additional time to bisque fire, glaze, glaze fire (repeatedly) will put the pricing of higher quality pieces out of reach...which is cause for reflecting upon the question, "Why do you really do this?"
Full octave ocarina constructed using a pinch pot construction. This set is an experiment with mid-fire clays. The plan is to do more surface decoration with commercial underglazes and then a single oxidation firing.
Constructed on the beach during a recent Florida vacation.

I'm trying a variety of products in an attempt to both age an ink jet image and to make it look "misty".
I am drawn to the look produced using encaustic wax, but the health hazards make me cautious about heating wax without effective ventilation.
Anyone interested in using cold wax might like to look at oilandwax.ning.com/ for helpful advice.
My objective is to use images that look as though they are memories of the past and I have to say that everything I have tried so far is a disapointment.
I hope to look into using resin next.
