Evil Kittens

I glazed my evil kitten bowl it looks nice. I also fired the skull to bisque, I might leave it at that Went diving yesterday and brought back these urchin shells, they are nice. The sort of thing a ceramicist would like. Was joined by a dolphin for a half hour while diving he came right up and held his eye up aginst my mask and stared into my eye,quite weird

Made a top for the skull. The little fellow on the top is the irrational little monster that makes you do all those dumb things that seemed like such a good idea at the time. I also underglazed the evil kitten bowl

Skull

I made a skull from clay. being a dentist and understanding anatomy was handy, knowing the shape of the individual bones , how they fit and buttress each other Went painting with Jim and Monika in Peoples park this morning. I painted a victorian water fountain I like it
