Lately, I kept seeing referrals from My Owl Barn site to my shop. So I investigated it. Look what I found!
My Owl Barn
How wonderful! My owls are featured there! This site is for owl lovers. There are loads of owl goods, art and everything owly. There are also other animals shown together. If you are looking for a gift for owl lovers, this is the place, you should browse!
I have been busy working until late this week. In mornings after desk work, I packed and posted work with Topaz. In afternoons, more desk work and then studio work until nine at night. Today is the first day I finished at eight! I aim to finish work before nine this year, but I haven't done well so far.
Monday morning, I opened the kiln. There are lots of rabbits and owls as well as other things.

| Owls, rabbits, baby otter and farm animals! |
Thankfully, both heads and the large owl have survived, too.

Most go to firing again. As this owl mysteriously appeared on that night Mike was away, I had no plan how to glaze him. He will go to the second firing like this. I am carefully listening to what he says, and going very slowly.

Hello, Midori, thank goodness the weather is getting better at last..finally a bit of sunshine :) Your latest work is beautiful, I really like the crying owl with its unusual texture. Baby otter is very sweet too :)
ReplyDeleteHello Mark. Indeed, we have missed the sunshine! Thank you. I will not know how the owl ends up. I am listening to him very carefully. : )
DeleteFlowers are born, Rabbits also. And baby Owls, baby Otter too :) They are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThere in south-west of France we want more sun and less water too.
Take care of you.
Thank you, Ilona. We all want spring to come! You, too! : )
DeleteI love the way your critters have such individual personalities!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see the Spring flowers....
Happy Sunday!

Hi Ruby. R=Thank you. They all have their own characters. : ) I hope you had a great weekend! : )
DeleteLove, love, love your crying owl. As well as the little owls and rabbits. The white glaze looks good, too. White glazes can be tricky, but this white is very lovely. We are in a severe drought so I thought we might not see our daffodils--but up they came after we finally got a little rain. So trustworthy a beacon of spring...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Charlene. The crying owl was once a child, but became the owl. It was strange experience. I don't use glaze often enough to remember how it should be. I had better take a note in scientific way! :D
DeleteI had no idea that you had drought. I thought all US was covered with thick snow! That' what mass media does to the little Japanese! :D Yes, the nature is incredible. We admire the return of spring more so this year after all those storms. : )
Everything looks magnificent here Midori . The art , Pumpkin, the Spring flowers ! :)))))
ReplyDeleteAs soon as the spring has come, they say we are going to have a cold spell. Oh well. We should have a bit of winter, I guess. :D
