I've been making my one-of-a-kind clay creations since the early 1990's. They have changed dramatically over the past nearly two decades but have always stayed true to their roots: fun, fun animals. All my ceramic pieces are hand-made by me, one at a time, with a strong built-in hanger on the back. They are kiln-fired multiple times and are, if you want to wash them, dishwasher-safe. PLEASE NOTE: I make these pieces completely by hand, one at a time, fire them the first time, then paint them one at a time, then glaze them and fire them a second time. NO TWO ARE EVER EXACTLY ALIKE. When you order a mask from those listed below, I will make one as similar as possible to the one you order. The shape of the piece will be the same, the basic colors will be the same, but it may not be the very exact piece you see. Also, each piece will be signed and dated by me as I complete it. I don't know how long I'll be making the ceramic pieces again, but I'll try to let you know ahead of time if and/or when I decide to stop making them again. Let me know if you want me to notify you personally by email, and I'll add you to my list. Hope you enjoy them!! |
