I am nearly finished with this little collection. The last pots are still in process and no, I haven’t forgotten the Bird Cage jar, it still needs a lid, and that is why I haven’t finished it yet. But it does have to go in the next firing so I need to get on with it.This little jar here is only 12 inches tall, I have put all the drawings on it from the bird plates, it is interesting to see how they change when they go into colour and paint mode. No lavish tail feathers here, rather it is all about the beaks. I love they way things develop depending on their execution. Black slip over cream slip; I might put some gold or silver lustre on too.

Beautiful!
Gracias Zaza. Tengo gusto de su cerámica también
Hello, Kitty. Thanks for dropping by. And thanks for the blog tip about my finger. The swelling seems to be going down (shouldn't be typing, er, pecking) so hope this is the end of it...but want to be sure!! And I love your pottery. OMG! Fantastic. You are soooo talented. And I've visited Granada...ah, a little slice of heaven.
Brilliant jars! beautiful surfaces! Love them.
Thanks Judy and Kittie. The surface is still raw so finish could be very different!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I should say it is all one jar - oh if only I had made 3...that would be just great.
loving the bird in the middle photo... he looks like he has just got out of bed
Jessie, I know..its those beady eyes and the scruffy hair, he might have to get painted just as he is, sort of a Liam Gallagher bird that one!
Great piece! Love those birds and the flowers! This will be a real winner when it is finished up!
I love the black & white drawings of the birds, it gives another value to those magnificent birds. can't wait to see it with luster.
Those are terrific Kitty. I do so like the the white incised lines against the dark background, they are both fun and elegant all at the same time!
