I have a few new ceramic pieces that I haven't shown yet. I try to remember to take photos when I bring the pieces home, but often I forget. Anyway, here are 3 masks made recently. I don't much like the blond guy. Faces that look somewhat realistic and pleasant don't really interest me. I think he's rather blah. The green insect I like a lot. It was inspired by watching another ceramicist who was putting very realistic insects on the side of her vases. She was actually copying them from a guide to insects book. I used her insects as inspiration, but didn't create an actual insect. Mine is part preying mantis and part imagination.
The cat mask is a not quite successful attempt to do a cat face. I haven't yet been satisfied with any animal faces, but I'll keep trying. Imaginary faces - human, animal, insect or alien - are much easier for me than real ones.
