Oh puppies!

I bought this Dachshund cookie cutter a while back as I thought it was mighty cute.
I pressed it into clay slabs and fired them. When they were bisque fired, I applied happy colors of glaze to them. Guess what I exclaimed when I opened the kiln?

Oh, puppies! :)

I'm wondering if I should make brooches or magnets from these...
What would you prefer?

    I so agree with Elisefilt that the puppy circle is a perfect card image.

    Brooch or magnet ... slight tilt to the magnet.

    The colors are perfection!

    I love the rainbow of puppies!

    I really would love to take a class in ceramics... I should do some research and see what's on offer in my town.

    Have you ever seen the work by Bison?
    They're in the town where I live. Every so often I go into their store and just feel their items. So lovely...

    They look good enought to eat! I would like to see them as brooches or maybe hair clips. I love all the fun colors. :)

  38. Bethany DirksenMay 21, 2010 at 8:20 PM

    they are quite beautiful. so simple to make i bet too!

    the color spectrum you use is quite perfect. I could really see theses as magnets. That is my first instinct, but could see them as brooches....for the right buyer.

    hehehehe i said the same thing you said when i saw the pictures - PUPPIES! i'm such a sucker for animals, and especially little replicas!

    maybe you could have a parade on your fridge, by putting magnet on them and adding some bones? or a simple, chunky necklace with the doggie as a pendant?

    puppies make me so warm and fuzzy, & now i'm giggling stupidly as i think of puppies! :P

    What king of xolor glaze are you using, or is it color, and separate glaze?

    I use Botz glazes and I also mix transparant glaze with pigments and stains.
