Norfolk Daddy


I'm taking a class in ceramics and I decided to make an eagle....and his name is Norfolk Daddy. Everyone says he's beautiful but he'll look even better after he's been fired the first time and then glazed and fired again! So there he is, a bit pale because the colors get better after he's been in the kiln. I really wanted to rename him Liberty, but that is a possibility since I've already identified with his as Norfolk Daddy! I know it sounds a bit nutty, but the best way to make any kind of sculpture or puppet is to name it and think about how you want it to look. I even had a picture of him to work with!


Have a grand day, all!
