Swan Lake Ballerina Jewelry Dish
- Details
- Category: Sculptures
Swan Lake was a ballet composed by Tchaikovsky in 1875–76, about a prince that falls in love with a beautiful maiden named Odette who has been cursed into the body of a swan and is only able to take her human form at night by the enchanted lake. As this is an original tale developed for the ballet, I modeled a ballerina in a classic Attitude stance. My thanks again to the Ceramic Art Studio and Shop.

Griffin Watch Tray

- Category: Sculptures
The griffin, griffon, or gryphon is a legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and sometimes an eagle's talons as its front feet. Because the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts, and the eagle the king of the birds, by the Middle Ages, the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. Since classical antiquity, griffins were known for guarding treasures and priceless possessions. In medieval heraldry, the griffin became a Christian symbol of divine power and a guardian of the divine. My thanks again to the Ceramic Art Studio and Shop.
