Being that it's spring, I've made two discoveries.Birdhouses... Birdfeeders.
Adrienne (instructor) has done some demos about birdhouses. These are my first two. Different kinds of clay. I did make a perch for the one on the left. In time, the forms will get bigger.
The beginnings of a bird feeder. Made a roof too. 
Then I realized that these extra coin sized pieces need to be slipped and scored on the inside- well this is just how birdfeeders are made! 
Another bird feeder. This form is one of my favorite yunomi forms. I'm making the finishing touches on these feeders and houses and then they'll head to the electric bisque kilns soon. 
Here Adrienne is making a perch for the bird house in the pic. 
There's so much to learn in the world of bird houses. It's a wonderful new chapter in the world of pottery. Next I'll post a pic of the latest big bowl I've made.

I love these birdhouses. My grandmother had one for years that she got in Seagrove and I now have it. There is a little family in it right now!
those look great, I might have to try a couple for my yard, you make it look easy, but I am sure it isn't.
