Flight of Fancy

I just love having bright and bold things to look at in my garden and let's face it pottery pieces take less watering in the dry summer months than delicate flowers. This 'flight if fancy' is made from earthen ware paper clay. The body was made first then the feather display was made over a curved mould and added. The whole piece was bisc fired then sealed and painted with a mixture of enamels and acrylics.
