Ready For Her Close-Up

Katie sure was surprised this Christmas by a totem pole with a custom sculpture of herself topping it off! It is a special challenge to try and capture a likeness in clay - especially when your model is always on the move.

Most of my pieces come out of my imagination and are only loosely based on real animals I have seen. Katie is a small dog so her portrait is just about life size. The totem pole stands about 3 feet tall.

If you have a special friend who you want to memorialize in clay send me a photo and we'll talk about what we can do. E-mail me at potshop@saber.net.

CustomMade.com

My work can now be found on CutomMade.com. It's a web site that features all custom made work like furniture and sculpture and all kinds of fantastic stuff. There are some ready made pieces that you can purchase right off of the site as well as finding people who can make just what you need to fill that special place. If you have been looking for something special check out the site and find the link to an artist who can make it for you.

I have my totem poles on the site as well as some of my animal sculptures and tables. This photo is of my "Two Birds Totem" which is just over 5 feet tall. As with all of my pieces it is high fired stoneware and can be used indoors or out.
