Tribal Inspired Pendants

Here are three tribal inspired pendants I made in Florida which I finally got around to glaze firing. I used a thinly rolled white stoneware clay and hand formed the pieces. For the green one above I brushed markings with native Florida clay.

 The texture on this one is subtle and meant to evoke the feeling of a worn aged surface.

Here's another pale green piece with native Florida clay markings. I have others but I need to add jump rings to attach the leather cords. Others will have added embellishments.

Yesterday Gary built me a bin to plant my peas. As usual that project entailed moving my potting bench and filling with soil between rain storms. In other news some of my shallots are indeed sprouting, thanks goodness. Stay tuned for more. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

  7. I like the pale green, it still looks fluid somehow, like a lovely wet watercolour wash.
    We are in winter here, but I do have to plant some cabbage seedlings that a friend gave me. I'll put them in a pot, and bring them inside on the really cold nights!

  8. Hi Peter, thanks, I never know about that green if it will be dark or light, with these pendants I was afraid to put too much because it might run off; my new bin I am looking forward to getting a fall crop after my peas are finished; and my pot with the shallots too. I'd like to grow some leaf lettuce like red leaf and oak leaf, we shall see.
