Whimsical sculpture by Barbara Dunshee

 I decided to see what I could do with a lighter mood of expression on some smaller faces. These quickly took on a carnival feel and demanded a spot more color.

Mr. Rectangle Face

A greenware stage face. Photographs help me to see how the light lands on features and what needs to happen next.

The sound of bells ringing!

Sweet sound of my ceramic bells, available for purchase at my Etsy shop.

French Butter Keepers, or as I call mine, Butter Bulbs™!

Fresh out of the kiln are a few new Butter Bulbs™ (the name I gave my design of French Butter Crocks). I created a bulb shape for the butter compartment. I like the way they feel in the hand and the way they hold in the butter. I've listed them for sale over at my Etsy shop!
