The inspiration for this fish is based on the Coral Hind Grouper. Lolas best friend ironically is Sonya the pelican. A love for glitzy bling brought these two ladies together. Both are decked out with ceramic beaded necklaces, Lola has earrings and both have rhinestone studded sunglasses to top off their fabuloso ensambles.This is for a made to order teapot. Please allow 4-5 weeks for shipment.This teapot measures approximately 10 from lips to tip of her tail, 10 in height including her beaded wires and 5 deep.The teapot was formed using soft earthenware clay. I used the potters wheel to throw her ring body and a inverted cylinder for her base. She was finished off using handbuilding techniques to bring her to life. All of the clay and glazes that I use are certified non-toxic, leadfree so if you want to give her a smooch, go right ahead.This teapot has all of the elements of a teapot but isnt practical for use. Because of her lucsious lips, shes a drooler. No microwave for her either becuase of the metal wire embellishments. She does make a fantastic addition to a teapot or fish collection or for someone that loves whimsy.If you have any questions that I havent answered through the listing or in my Shop Policies, please send me a convo. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=680720 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:48:32 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=680717 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=680717"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/17883_product_480110789_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This is a whimsical ceramic teapot made to resemble a real reef fish.

The theme for the show was buttons. As with so many things that I do I filed the idea away until one day I was in a fabric store and found the perfect assortment of buttons. This is actually Buttons #2, the first Buttons broke, but this one is 100% perfect. Her markings are based on the Marquesan Parrotfish. Because this is a Made to Order listing, please allow 4-5 weeks for shipment.Buttons measures 10.5 from lips to tip of her tail, 10.5 in height including her buttoned wires and 5 deep.Buttons was formed using soft earthenware clay.

This latest addition to my brood of fish teapots was inspired by the Mandarinfish. I first saw a Mandarinfish in person at the Florida Aquarium, I was used to the variety that comes in greens but the one that I saw was in turquoise, blues and wine. This party girl is complete with rhinestone studded sunglasses, clay bead earrings and glass beaded wires trailing off her dorsal fins. Mandy measures 10.5 from lips to tip of tail, 9.5 high not including the beads and 5 wide.Because this teapot is made to order please allow 4-6 weeks for shipment.

This is the first of my Christmas Ornament listings. The theme is Santa Claws is Coming to Town. The photo used is a stock photo. The actual grey and white cat ornament that you receive may be slightly different, but nearly identical. Because each ornament is made by hand and painted by hand, that's what makes yours unique.This ornament was made from a rich red terracota clay that I rolled and cut out using a handmade template. While the clay was still soft I embedded high temperature wire for the whiskers and a little hanging loopy also made of high temp wire. The glaze technique is majolica. I painted 3 coats of a white satin glaze and then painted colored decorating glazes on top of the white. the result is a great satin finish. Each ornament comes with a nifty handmade wire hanger.

My offering is based on the ancient Greek Lekythos, it took 5 separate parts to make, I also included the pin hole. The volume that it holds is less than what appears on the outside. My surface decoration holds true to form with an image of a butterfly, the Zebra Longwing to be exact. This Lekythos is dedicated to the butterflies of the world that flutter into our lives. The Lekythos measures 9" in height and 4-3/4" at the widest point. Thanks for visiting.

The hunk of clay was rolled into a thin slab of clay and then draped to form it's shape. I cut the clay in a random free form manner to add a little pizzazz to the piece. The dish rests on three whimsical legs. The dish measures 9.5" x 7" and appx 3" in height. Like all ceramic pieces, this dish is breakable so handle with care. From my hands to yours.
