Finished Cut Outs and a new design...




















Here is the new design for the Cut Out cups. This design is inspired by these Silver Sebring hens. Wonderfully beautiful chickens that are fascinating in color and pattern.











And here are the finished Cut Out cups, pitcher and gravy boat. Me and Will have used these and both like the design.
We agree there needs to be a few minor adjustments such as a larger oval spaces for the fingers.
































Clay Tip of the Day:
The best tool you have when you are building with clay is your own saliva. Whether you are fixing a tear, or attaching a wetter piece of clay to a dryer piece, your own saliva is the best adhesive. **Please note: I do recommend knowing the ingredients of your clay body so as not to toxify yourself.....

These are so great. I love the hens, Richard wants to know how much they run for ;P

I LOVE the octopus mugs. They are my favorites.

How much fun to see you take your creativity in yet another direction. Reminiscent of a 1970's bright orange pitcher we have with a cut out handle. Oh would this be a great match. Keep us posted on your next event.

Absolutely gorgeous! I don't usually go for stripes, but I love your zebra pieces! Can we see the giraffe ones too??

A treat to see these, Leanne. I have a weakness for black and white stripes but the hens are my favourite.
