I wanted to make another murder of crows box, one that would also be a rattle. So this one is without a drawer. The drawers are complicated though I feel I am getting better at them. Because they are clay they don't slide well unless they fit perfectly. A lot of times in the kiln the clay will shift a little and so the drawers don't fit the way they should. This is very frustrating and causes me to throw tantrums and screaming fits when they come out of the kiln. It was nice not to have to worry with a drawer.
And here is the revival of the peacocks. A friend of mine asked for some peacock pieces so I revived the little devils in all their finery. I am trying to change the image a little by making myself try to get the feel of feathers in the carving. We will see if I can manage that challenge.
And here is a little painting I started last week.
Lots of work to be done here.

Oh wow!!! I love your peacock piece. Those feathers look amazing.
The Crow Box really tickles my fancy though...I can just hear those squawking crows.
Fantastic painting too...love that hand.
Thanks so much Robyn! Peacock colors are my favorite colors to work with.
Hey Un D,
Can't wait to see what you do with scraffito.
Hey Lynne,
Thanks for the vote of confidence on the painting. I have been struggling with my painting lately and your words give me a boost.
Hey Miss Queeny,
Keep trying the feathers. You will master them quickly. Miss your posts...more posts please.
