Saw Whet Owl with Pine and Fungi (Mug 1) bird mug

Saw Whet Owl with Pine and Fungi (Mug 1) bird mugThese tiny inquisitive birds only weigh about three and a half ounces. They are some of the most numerous owls in North America, but tend to be very reclusive. Here they are perched on a pine with a colorful pop of fungi nearby. This piece was created from a wheel thrown body with added sculptural elements. Color is layered throughout the making process at every stage in order to achieve a lively depth in the surface. Gold luster accented. Blushed

I think that the tiny hole is almost just part of it's personality

The porcelain clay is now pressed into the mold to capture the original detail

The turquoise wash glaze leaves evidence of brush marks appearing as a watery surface

with it's iconic weeping willows gracing the edge of Cayuga Lake
