Little bird enjoying summer

I bought a Dremel today! Now I can sand down any uncomfortable edges on my maker's mark and sharp glaze drips won't be a problem

This guy will end up holding a pot, as is traditional, and will be coloured exactly like my MIL's boy.

Black clay, white engobe, Mayco Olive Float, a face and a cute hoya to plant in it. Bonus earlier creature.

Oh what's this?

Almost tempted to buy underglazes for stuff like this 🤔
