Growing Home

This sgraffito'd vase has a removable roof and non-removable owls.

Growing Home.  

Many thanks to my daughter, Kelsey Cartwright Roy, 

for coming up with this clever name for my vases.

So far... just cottages, but it will be fun

to create some different styles.

This one is drying.  I use sand-filled socks to weigh down the roof
and prevent it from warping.  Next I'll place the 
whole thing on some old wooden 
building blocks in order to help the base to dry.

Puppy post.

My dog loving friends have requested more pups to go along with 

all the cats I make.  So here is a new, small sgraffito'd dish

waiting to be bisque fired.

Coming soon: 

pandas and monkeys!
