Metal Ox

 

Here's to 2021, Year of the Metal Ox. Looking forward to the strength and vigor of the ox to charge us past all the hardships and malaise that have mired the planet in 2020. Wishing everyone continued strength, resilience, and a much better, more creative, and productive New Year. My thanks again to the Ceramic Art Studio and Shop.

Sea Otter

 

The sea otter (Enhydra lutris) is a marine mammal native to the coasts of the northern and eastern North Pacific Ocean. Sea otters have the highest fur density of all animals which protects them against the cold in lieu of blubber. They are highly social creatures and can spend their entire lives without ever leaving the water. My thanks again to the Ceramic Art Studio and Shop.

Polar Bear Jewelry Dish

 

A sculpting colleague asked if I had ever made a polar bear. I made a polar bear mother with a cub back in 2018, but I decided to do another one based on a concept I've been noodling for some time. My thanks again to the Ceramic Art Studio and Shop.
