I made two spirit vessel versions of this important animal. Buffalo are our iconic American beasts of the Great Plains and the vast West. Here, I have used found feathers attached to his back and on two sides of his covered jar. I have strung my hand made lamp worked glass beads ending with tiny ceramic owls.  The figure is iridescent on both sides. The colors are exciting on this magnificent container.  Just as the buffalo itself is magnificent. Left click, choose “Open link in new picture” to see a large view.

The raku process leaves its mark on the clay as no other firing method does. When the piece comes out of the kiln at about 1750 degrees F, it is put into sawdust, which immediately ignites. This after burn leaves its mark reminding me of the celestial fires that produced our plant and all of the heaven’s wonders. Here is a vessel that bares the marks of such an after burn. I added a handle to its lid reminiscent of a living creature, applied shiny glaze to it and the side patterns, then to complete the ancient look I added feathers similar to what our early ancestors would have used.

What a fun ocean creature is the dolphin! Playful, jumping, splashing, chattering, truly making waves. Here is my figure representing our fabulous friend. I used my matte glaze on most of this jar, which once fired, turned into waves of colors in motion around this whole piece. When I added adornment, I chose my own lamp worked glass beads, which themselves have swirling colors. These “jewels,” picked up this same waves theme giving this spirit jar a further motion.

This vessel is tall and lean with a distinctive red glow flashed on the surface by fire starved for oxygen. It has a rare silvery bluish rim. I applied three thumb elements on indented lines on three equidistant areas on the body. Each was glazed the same glaze on the rim, to pick up that color theme and carrying it into the body of the vase.
