Bird woman

I made a bird-woman creature tonight. She is small, the size of my hand and a bit delicate i dont know if she will hold together while drying nevermind firing!

Skull

I took the decorated and glazed skull out of the klin, I really like it met Frank at the railway station in Limerick to do a bit of painting

Pet Pieta

I seem to be a bit obsessed with the pets at the moment. So I've done a pet pieta It's only a joke but by copying michelangelo s pieta, I've learnt it. I know in my version the hands and feet are placed a little differently but I'll remember forever where he placed his and the exact drape of the body. I've learnt an awfull lot from this little exercise, imagine how much I could have learnt if my art education had been an old style one with months and even years copying old masters and plaster casts, but I suppose it was a differant kind of art then

Portrait of the artist as an old man

Painted the skull I like it a lot I also made a life size clay of my head,creepy

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

id

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
