This owl...

Painted a quickie owl tonight. This is a new shape we've been pouring in our shop and we needed a sample painted. It's been antiqued underneath, so it's hard to tell what the finished look will be until it's fired. Fingers crossed...

I've been working on a giant dinosaur egg for Easter.  Here it is about 2/3 done.
The back side has some mistakes, but that is what back sides are for. I will post again after it's finished and fired.

Finished Snail

Here's the finished snail. The body is a little dark. I should have done a second layer of orange on the spots to make them brighter. The shell is a little too bright. You can't really see the mother-of-pearl overglaze from the photo.
What do you think?
