A golden ram and a stone lion, found in a tomb at the archaeological site of Gonur Depe (dated from 2400 to 1600 BCE) in Turkmenistan. The finger in the background shows how small these figures are, demonstrating the extraordinary skill of the crafter.

some of my creatures from this semester!
[image descriptions: photos of ceramic animal sculptures: a blue bunny with a white-and-cream crescent moon attached to its back, a small bust of a dark green anthro fox wearing a blue blouse, a green kiwi bird, a white rabbit lying down, a blue-and-cream raccoon, a simple gray fox head, a rabbit with spiral and spot designs in hazelnut brown, and three tiny minimalist bunnies in chartreuse, sky-blue, and cool violet.]

Jaguar cub in dark clay
[image descriptions: three photographs of a ceramic jaguar cub. The jaguar is looking up and crouching as if the cub was surprised in the middle of walking; its front left and back right paws are extended forward, and its shoulders are hunched. Its tail is curled around one leg to its hip. The glaze is slightly mottled on the jaguar's back, but clear enough to reveal its warm-brown body and black markings imitating a jaguar's rosettes and stripes.]

Working on getting a reasonable number of Beastlies ready for an update this week. I should have a small ceramic update not long after. Meanwhile, a reminder that I have some larger pieces like these available through the Stranger Factory gallery.

Voilá! A selection of freshly-fired weirdos, photographed in the garden! I'm holding a bunch back from their own photo shoot times as I still need to add/fire gold lustre onto them, but these guys are all done!
Depending on my gold lustre timing, I think I'll be popping these guys into my shop in the second half of June, but I'll definitely announce it here when I have a date!
