A STARfish and a Sea Sponge



These two sculptures were in the STARs exhibition.

Starfish is a small miracle; another of my "dangerous" pieces that survived the kiln.
Sea Sponge is just a delight for the senses. The exterior colours are earthy and warm, the interior is fleshy-pink and cool. The whole surface is glassy smooth and rippled like a piece of sheer silk frozen in the act of it's flutter. The mouth is unglazed so it was fired upside - down. This way I got the sexy glaze all over the roounded bottom.
