In the open studio Thursday

Got to stain my sculptural pieces last Thursday.
Now will wait till another glaze kiln can be loaded to see what happens to them.

Hecate at the crossroads (before the stain). Yes she's a crone, which is a wise elder woman.  Crone has a historic use that's derogatory. We wise elder women are reclaiming the term and using it proudly.  Please teach everyone you know that this is what we prefer.  It may take several generations...sort of like other derogatory terms.

There's also a wingless dragon (guess that makes her a lizard). And a funny looking baby bird.

Wait and see!

  1. I am looking forward to the finished Hecate. Good work!
    BTW Chinese Dragons do not have wings, so there you go! 🐉 🤭

  4. Oh thanks, Suzi, about the Chinese Dragon. That's a better thought than a lizard, somehow.
    Hi Eileen, good to hear from you, and I'm going to be looking at your critters as soon as I pour my coffee,
    Thanks Michele for your complement. Me too, can't wait.
