Just to keep things interesting for myself, I have been adding more and more sculptural and illustrative elements to my pots. Here is a picture of one of my new favorites, a funny, nubbly, little sheep, which has come to reside on the top of a large, round covered jar I handbuilt…as if he is king of the hill. To give this guy his awesome texture, I first formed the basic body of the sheep then covered him in tiny little press molded nubbies. I love the way these nubbies mimic curls of wool…and of course, I eventually added my signature googly eyes!
