Turtle Shell / Egg



I like this shape, I like these colours and I like the hole in the top.
The shape and colour are turtle-shell-ish. Imagine the turtle, all tucked up in side. I have some turtles in a pond at home. When I pick them up, they are about this size and this shape. My turtles are a totally different colour to this piece, but I like the mottled green effect. The glaze is my recipe. I love it.
The hole in the top just makes me want to put my finger in it. It would be an exciting intrusion. Doesn't it look like it could snap; just like a turtle? And Like the fragile sea turtles, this egg is cracked. Messages are loaded, here.
