Working In Clay

I've been working with a group of ladies from Katie's Acres, who share their images working in clay and doing it Christi Friesen style.  So much fun.  We've done dragons, hearts, parrots, cats and more.  Above are a few of the clay figures I've contributed to the site. 

Currently, we're working from Christi's book about "Down Under" and I'm excited to be a part of such a bunch of talented men and women, working in a common medium.

Of course, clay isn't my only passion, as my blog shows.  I've also been working on my "Song Journal" where I am sharing my favorite songs and artwork together in one place. 

Yesterday, I went to a card class, which was fun and I'm going to post the photos of them on here later.  I have to charge my camera batteries first. LOL! 

Anyway, working with clay is always relaxing as I mash and roll and shape it, then watch as it magically turns into something that may or may not resemble something. :)  And, if it doesn't, I can just squash it and start over. 

Once I've baked it up, I can't wait for it to cool so I can glaze it.  I don't know why; but I just love how it looks when it gets all shiny from the glaze.  I've tried the glaze that dries flat; but don't really care for it.  I just like shiny!
