I had to take a break from quilting, my upper back turned into a big cramp, So i have backed way off on the hours at the machine and have been knitting and going to the Illinois Homeschool Conference with the kids.
So I will show some of my pottery to keep things somewhat intersting.
The first pot is a large hand coiled vase, and the second picture is a hand painted triangular bowl.
The house is slab built with a drawer that pulls out and a recessed niche. the designs are made from clay stamps that I carved and pressed into the clay. It is painted with iron oxide.
The vase with the hands is a hand built coiled pot that has a carved design painted with iron oxide. I made a mold of my own hands to create the hands that hold up the pot.

Great pottery, Judy! I especially love the box. What do you keep in there? Is this new stuff? Have you found a place for pottery in Chicago?
