Hello, everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest shop update is now live!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There aren’t so many pieces this time around because I’m trying to focus more on my solo show that’s happening this coming August (more on that soon but if you’d like to see WIP shots head on over to my Patreon<\/a>!)
Some of the pieces featured here were experimental ideas for said show!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been playing more with the Reliquary\/Keeper Beast idea and decided to try making a tiger one.
The main purpose of this was to see how I could build one of these and properly hollow it out instead of making it a solid form like the wolf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is another variant of the Reliquary\/Keeper Beast idea.
I decided to take the “Wave Wolf” concept, but make it appear as though they are holding something in their arms.<\/p>\n\n\n

I made this Rainbow Crow with heterochromia as something to donate towards PRIDE month and a charity! 100% of proceeds from this piece went to Trans-E-Motion<\/a>, a local trans-led non-profit here in the Central Valley that helps serve the trans community here in the Central Valley of California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made this wolf as a test to see what it would look like to put a black\/gold blanket on a black wolf<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

With this wolf, I wanted to see what it would look like if I used the grey underglaze on the speckle clay. I was hoping the speckles would help make the wolf’s coat look more like a wolf’s coat, but I’m not a fan of the final result. Definitely prefer the non-speckle clay for grey wolves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And a very small series of Mini Menagerie critters because I just felt like sculpting a little pack of wolves and another frog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
