A gift I made for my Son at Pottery

Picture
I have wanted to share this pottery item I made for my Son's Birthday ..ever since I made it a few months ago ..
I had to keep it secret so he had a surprise 
I carefully wrapped it up and sent it to my Island of home of Guernsey in the UK 
It arrived in one piece and here it is in his home.
It is a candy dish that I designed especially for his favorite Gourmet Jelly Beans.

Picture
It was super fun making it ..I enjoyed every part of the process.
The  black sponge is to keep it from collapsing ..you remove it once it is hard

When I put his comical eyes on ...he suddenly came alive and I found myself talking to him as I finished making him ...ha! ha! 
Picture
He had all of a sudden developed a personality.
Picture
I always have to sign it so I just put my initials J. S.
Picture
Glazing it was also a joy....I used Textured Leopard glaze for the inside of the mouth ...and put inverted circles in the mouth to represent bubbles.

Picture
Look at how the glaze worked out ...it hugged the edges of every scale ...I am over the moon about it ..I used one of my favorites Mayco's Midnight Rain
Picture

 My son absolutely loves it ....he had so much fun unwrapping it not knowing what he was going to find.
 
I am so relieved that it arrived all in one piece ...it's a long journey for a fragile piece of pottery from Alabama to Guernsey ..half way across the World.

Thanks for popping by 

I hope you have a wonderful day 

I am going to wash all the yellow pollen that has collected on our decks, furniture and front porch.

It comes from the Pine trees and covers every thing and every where with a messy yellow dust 

Expecting storms tonight so that will help wash it down also ...

A La Prochaine

As we say in Guernsey meaning (See you later)

He is so cute. I can see why you started talking to him. And the glaze is amazing. Almost like magic.
I have been reading about Guernsey and what an interesting island it is.
So glad you landed here in the US!

    I love anything artsy I especially love sewing and vintage prints and shabby chic ...pretty feminine things to adorn the home
    That is why I decided to create Maisonvogue
