Another great day in my studio. I’ve been working with the same pattern as I worked with a couple weeks ago. I liked the shape of that vase so much and have made a total of 5 using that same pattern. I’ll be working on some more patterns tonight and look forward to changing it up a bit this week.

I used some of the new molds that I made on these pieces. The twig you see the bird perched on was made from a twig in my front yard. I pressed that twig into a piece of clay, bisque fired the clay and now I have a twig mold, that simple. The bird was made from one of my candles that had this bird on it. I simply pressed that bird into my clay and now I have my bird mold. I made 26 molds that way and have a nice stash of them all bisque fired and ready to use. They are so easy to make and use and feel I’m turning into the drama queen of molds and texture.
