I heard of this for the first time this year and I’m gearing up to apply! That money would really go a long way and they give out quite a few of those grants so the odds are decent!

That’s a cool idea! A pendant might be manageable. It’s a bit hard to scale down the size of those pieces to earring size because of the technique involved, but I like your thinking!

Thanks so much I appreciate that! I’ll definitely be making more in the future

Thank you!! I painted some matte underglaze colors on this piece (the black markings and the white fangs) but it doesn’t have any actual glaze on it! The color comes from the brown clay with tiny speckles.

Pretty small. More exact measurements will be on the listing, but these little foxes are about two inches long!

August is historically one of my worst months for sales and it is even worse this year. I just put my Fern Fox planters up for preorder. My big Mossback planters are often imitated but you can get the real thing from me in full detail. Sales, shares and tips appreciated. 💜
