New Ceramic Clay Sculptures





Lady Sea Shell Sun wall hanging one of a kind hand sculpted by Dianne Mayne Forche. The shells are the real thing hand picked (and sterialized) from Caladesi Island in Florida about 20 years ago! Yes, I am a pack rat and love treasures from the sea. No animals were harmed ever!




This was sculpted with earthenware clay which is very fragile until fired in the kiln. My track record of getting them in one piece to the pottery place for firing is not perfect. Some of the rays broke, but have been reattached with liquid nails.... guaranteed!!






Also finished up a Native American sun face wall hanging. This photo does not have the ivory sculpted beaded necklace, but will post photo tomorrow since I am gallery sitting at ArtWorks at 7th

Thanks, Tammy... haven't picked up the kiln yet (got the elements in the mail though so making progress) and still trying to make room in the workshop, but with so much going on it has been difficult.
