Clinky Classic 2012

12/15/2012

Congratulations to Jackie Hasser and her colt Okie's Fantasy, a beautiful Red Okie Clay from the factory run. Great job Jackie!

This is one of the dark variation Okies.  I had trouble about halfway through the run, with the reds fading. The more horses in the kiln, the longer the kiln takes to get to full heat, the longer the total hours of firing, the more red burns out. So for the second half of the run, I deepened my red underglaze and really hit them hard with it. Production teaches you lots of handy things... but that is why there are essentially two colors of Okies. First half (ish) and second half.

Congratulations also to Maggie Schneider Barkovitz  and her gelding Nabu, a Stormwatch in medicine hat overo. Looking good Nabu!

Congratulations also to (I'm pretty sure) Lois Bennington and her Otto named Sidekick. He's a lovely example of the factory run Otto ponies. Snorty!

Congratulatins also to Keith Bean and his Royal Worcester stallion, Vin Diesel, for the win at Clinky Classic. Vin Diesel was an old factory bisque, used as a guide for the casters to assemble the horses in production. After decades as a white bisque, Keith and I glazed him and gave him his mojo. He always does well!

Bisque Kheer Up for Offers!

12/5/2012

I have been offered a new sculpture, a very exciting one that would bring all of us great joy! So I need to raise some money for it, quickly! Because this is so important to me, I have pulled my VERY LAST Kheer off of my bisque shelf. All of these years, I have kept her for myself, for a 'someday project'. Well, someday is NOW... but she isn't going onto my shelf, she might end up on yours! Kristina Lucas Francis sculpted Kheer a very long time ago, as a birthday present to me, and we shared the very limited castings from one mold. Kristina may have some available... I don't know... but what I do know is that this is my very last one. So I am taking bids until Saturday, December 8th. Highest bid wins. Choose your color, any color that gives you goosebumps just from thinking about it. And you won't pay until the foal is finished and approved by you. Because I love this sculpture so much, it is so dear to me, you know that I will focus all of my skill on making it the best I possibly can. The very best. I will work with you on the color, and together we can choose what will bring out the charm and joy of this little horse. Because she looks exactly how I feel right now... happy and excited! Email bids to mold40 at roadrunner dot com. Good luck!
