Another Cthulhu Installment

 

This being Easter and all brings to mind the various myths of risen saviors which, in turn, leads one's thoughts down dark and tortured paths hewn in solid dripping stone to the secret chamber of.....well, nevermind.   But I thought "hey!", this is the perfect time for the unveiling of the newest Cthulhu statute...aka idol...origin and provenance unknown.   Cast from the dark reaches of the Universe to wash up on the shores of this planet, or disgustingly disgorged by the very earth itself, this relic of the Elder Things exists between the planes of sanity and madness....and now, is thrust fully into the sunlight to ensnare new devotees to the star-spawned slumbering God.

Empty Bowls.........completed........

 ....This represents about a month and a half of work in between other things.   Ended up with about 80+ bowls and cups to donate to the local Empty Bowls sale coming up next month.   It's been fun, but I think I'm burned out on bowls for the time being ;)

That time again.........

The QC manager examining work in progress.

The first bowls of the year.

The second firing.

I have another 40+ bowls ready to glaze, so you'll be seeing more of these.   This is the annual push to create bowls to donate to the local "Empty Bowls" fundraiser for a local foodbank.   It's kind of fun to create something functional and not have to deal with the sales of the items.

Polynesian Relic...........
