Bowls and Lizards

These are my newest bowls-- what's emerging these days.  Hope to trim them tomorrow p.m.  About 2 1/2 lbs. each or so of clay.  The one in front with the rim is my new favorite.  Will make many more of those.  I must say that I do love having my own studio.  Don't need to clean-up fully- these have plastic over them and are just sitting there on my work table. 

These two have been hanging around lately.  Closest things to pets that I'll ever have.  They tend to hide in that small opening above the box and well, live there, I think.  Glad they don't scare me, although must admit they do get my attention.
These are awaiting the first bisque kiln firing.  Still need to get my garage rewired for the kiln and get that placed.  This all takes time!  In the meantime, I'm pleased with these forms.  Glad I haven't learned how to do this all!  :)  More soon.   Thanks for reading!

Looking great and what beautiful "pets".

Those lizards will keep your studio free from bugs, - they might craps a bit, but thats a small prize to pay to get rid of annoying flies and mosquitos.

And so funny they might be to watch.

WE enjoy the lizards but have noticed more and more each summer.
No cats=lots more crawling things.
Lovely bowls

You've been busy; I love your lizards, a feral cat around here is eating our lizards or removing their tails. Ugh

Bowls seem to be on everyone's mind right now. I have seen a bunch of blogs with bowls, including me. I haven't made any in a long while but they were fun. Not quite as nice as yours though!
Lizards are great, may keep your mosquito population down.... I don't know, do they eat mosquitoes?
So happy for you that you have your own studio, I know the feeling, the best part is only cleaning whenever you want to!
