more clay previews
Some cats I just finished putting together. After they’re fired they’ll be black with colored stripes, little white eyes and I’ll probably paint the noses a fun color.

I threw “El Muerto” here together this morning.
White slip on black clay.
He’ll look pretty much the same after he’s fired – the dark areas will turn black and I’ll paint in some little white teeth.
Feliz Dia De Los Muertos.

But seriously… where are the tails? They aren’t cats if they don’t have tails!
El Muerto rules!

Your cats look like they might be made of gingerbread. That could cause some severe tooth damage.

Was it hard making them stand up? That seems like it would have been hard.

A little difficult – once the clay dried out a bit I drug the bottom of the feet across some sand paper I placed on the table. I was able to get them standing fairly level and stable.

What handsome creatures, and very sturdy-looking. They would be nice 6 feet tall also.
