WCC 8/52 - Bronze Jalien Alpha

 

This weeks critter is another Jalien!! He is Bronze Jalien Alpha and is a Goldie Bronze pendant set with a 3mm lab ruby.

 

When I fired him and took him out of the kiln he came out with the most wonderful kiln patina, in the photo below. I did debate keeping this finish but when I put a sealer on it the colours dulled a bit, and also I worry that the high spots will wear smooth anyway and ruin the look. So he was duly polished and with a heat patina applied came out as above - and I really like him! )

 

Here is his poem - short but sweet!! lol

This Little Piggy....

Whoo Hooo!!! I am getting into critter mode ready for next years challenge!!! I just had to share this little guy with you :)

 

He is made in Goldie Bronze and measures about 22mm x 12mm. Tiny!!

 

 

I haven't decided on a name for him yet....

Having gone past Piglet, I have also thought of Hog Roast and Pork Scratching, but I think I am a bit food obsessed!!

 

Any ideas?

 

He does bring a smile to my face every time I look at him - he is VERY cute!!!

 

(Hope you like him Bev!! :) )

Bird a Month 9/12 - On Rainbow Shores

 

And now for something a bit different!! Bird a Month for September - well 4 birds actually :)

 

I am quite enjoying playing with small sculptures. The seashells and starfish on this are fine silver made using Art Clay Silver and enamelled. The birds are made using Goldie Bronze.

 

The overall size of the sculpture is 165mm x 85mm x100mm, The enamelled seashells are 4mm - 7mm in diameter and the bronze birds are about 40mm long.

 

I had fun making this! Each little seashell has a small pin in the back to fix it into the wood.  

 

Watch out for the second mask coming tomorrow!!
