Abstract Landscapes – is That an Oxymoron?

The whole group of them plus my fence pendant

After a project is finished, I am often left with plenty of scrap clay. I am not one to ball it up unless it is mud.

I could see Clint Eastwood flashing this as his badge in one of his old movies

No, I just keep going down the rabbit hole, experimenting and making pieces until nothing usable remains or I get bored with the color scheme.

This might be my favorite. I really went wild making curls and fans that stand up from the clay

These pendants were made using scrap canes. I wanted something organic and three dimensional yet fairly sturdy.

This was the final in the series…until next time

I call them ” Southwest Spaghetti Western Meets Key West.” My boyfriend thinks “Alien Landscapes” a better fit. Maybe. It is short and catchy.
