A few greenware heads
Here are a few of the unfired heads I’ve made for my new piece. Its coming along okay. I’ve used almost all of the clay I have in my studio. These heads are big and heavy and will take forever to dry. But with this rainless, snowless weather, they should dry more quickly than the heads I made last winter.
Mallards walk on water
Not that it hasn’t gotten cold. These mallards landed on the frozen part of the pond, slid a few yards, and then quickly walked to the unfrozen part. If you look carefully, you can see the two hens at the back are walking on the ice. Today, we had the first wood duck pair of the year. I hope they will nest as successfully this year as they did last.

Warming earth mists
The sculpture Mark Oldland made with me is holding up well. I really enjoy seeing it in all the seasons. This morning the ceramic balls had some sun glinting on them through the mist rising off the cold ground. Even though I like these sunny days, I’m hoping February will have some wet storms.
