Lottery: Tommy Joe

Lottery Winner: Terry C. (602 entries)

$400

Tommy Joe is not a casual birder and would like that understood upfront. This is not a backyard hobby with a gentle pair of binoculars. This is a lifestyle … nose in the app, life list growing, bags perpetually half packed for wherever the next sighting demands he be. A rare warbler has been spotted in a remote corner of somewhere inconvenient and Tommy Joe is already looking at flights. His people have learned to check in before making plans because Tommy Joe's schedule is ultimately at the mercy of migration patterns, which do not negotiate. He has seen birds on six continents and has feelings about all of them. The seventh is just a matter of timing. And the right bird.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

decals, gold luster, gloss glaze finish

One of a kind scary monster sculpture made with cone 6 white stoneware clay. Scary monsters are made from slabs of clay that are pushed and manipulated into their monster shapes. They are all fired in a kiln for 3 firings (thats 3 trips into the abyss of 2000+ degrees) depending on the final finish.
