Secret Room finished

You may have seen this after it had been bisque fired.  Now it has also been fired to cone 6, to bring it to glaze temperature without glaze...in order to vitrify the clay.

Secret Room again

 

A few more views of the Secret Room.

 Here's the back wall, somewhat abstract and decorative outside, but inside...

 a couple of trunks of trees and branch-like shapes that have the light coming through them...

I think it will be dry enough to bisque next week.  Fingers crossed that the roof doesn't cave in!!  Sort of like trial by fire.

A sanctuary?

 

A work in progress, which has more steps to completion.  But I wanted to share the ideas a bit.  So here's the bird on nest of three eggs, as part of my secret room sanctuary.  For me it means the same kind of sanctuary that is a refuge from all fears, a safe and secure place.  

The many windows were never planned to be the many shapes, that just happened as I went along.  Originally just rectangular windows were going to have different aspects of Goddesses looking out.  Guess that idea will have to be on another secret room.
