A friend ordered these for a gift to someone who raises goats. The cups are large, and the plates have room for a snack. They are earthenware. |
During July I was the featured artist at the Cypress Gallery in Lompoc, which means that I could display whatever I wanted in the front end of the gallery. I sent press releases w/pics to publications near here, etc. Here are some pictures I took of the show:
Here are my signs, seen through the front window-couldn't avoid the reflection.

Same story...
The piece in the middle portrays numbers one through 6, made by loops of clay. |

The name of this is "There's always more"; 2 of the pieces move on the rods, so it's interactive. It sold during the show, but the buyer left it up for the duration of the show. |

This is titled "Coming or Going?" The pieces are mounted on 3/4 inch risers. |

I call this "Something from nothing"; it's about the negative space. The piece on the right is
"Close one eye and it's you", because the face is a mirror, and the viewer is in the artwork.

I like making these pressmolded leaf pieces- The space for glaze is deep enough to hold a lot of glaze. I pour in one color, then wait until it dries and flakes, then add at least one more glaze. You get a nice variegated effect. |

The south wall of the gallery. I meant to go there at night to get better pictures, but didn't get to it. |

I had fun making the Welcome sign, but apparently nobody wanted it for their front door. People did enjoy my flattened beach ball. |
