I started sculpting an old snails home about 4 weeks ago - i love the spiral form - but it is so much more complicated than it looks. It is about 8 inches in length and fits perfectly in the hands and the form feels wonderful to hold. It has gone back into the kiln with a thin layer of glaze.
The pods below are a gift from Liz, my lovely ceramics teacher. She learnt of my love for pods and organic forms and every time she comes across something like this she picks it up and keeps it for me.
my complete pod collection so far - i love seeing them together.I think some pods will definitely be next on my list of ceramics projects.
happy thursday to you all xx

i can just imagine how it feels to hold. i love it's simplicity...knowing that it is a complicated structure seems to add to it's beauty.
