Year of the Horse

This year marks the 10th year I’ve done a painting for Master Lu’s Health Center!  Hard to believe it, but I’m only 2 years from having all the animals done for them.  This year’s painting was the horse, and I was nervous.  The horse is very special to me, so I wanted it to come out just right.  I really like the look and feel of it, please enjoy!

Miniature Menorah

So, here are some pictures of the menorah I’m working on.  I’m working on a second one as well, just in case.  Note the scale folks!  So far this is challenging and fun.  I’m using a low-fire red earthenware clay.  It looks very much like terra-cotta but doesn’t contain sand… easier to work with on this scale.
