NEST

NEST

31/2x11/2 My newest nest. Hand built in red earthenware clay.
I settled on a new glaze and I like the dark twiggy effect. The addition of the leaves and blossom bring in a more natural feel. The color of the eggs is a true Robins egg blue and I am excited to find it!
I have several of these nests firing now. Different colors of eggs. There is a pink egg laid by the Tree Swallow and the speckled white egg of the White Breasted Nut Hatch and House Sparrow. I have included these. I will post the nests as they are completed. Such fun! More bird paintings next week!
