Cat Head Sculptures

Not everyone wants or needs a planter, but still wants a cat!  I went on a tear pinching out these little sculptures, using dried seed pods and random tools to make depressions on the surfaces.

Oh, hi!

Great as a planter pal or garden buddy.

Cat Planters

A friend saw that I was making planters and requested a memorial cat head planter for a coworker who had just lost her kitty.  Instead of making one or two for her, I made a dozen and just kept going...

The first generation.

Trying to keep glazing simple with oxide rubs and underglazes.

I based this one on Clover!

I put some weird nubs on the bottom of this one.

Planted with a little cactus babe.

This was the simplest one I made, and the smallest...and fastest to sell!

Clover-as-Planter with Purple Heart.

Happy customer!
This went to my friend and lives as a home to a beautiful cactus.

I debuted these at the Kemper on Saturday's Block Party and many found new homes!  Looks like, as usual, animals (and cats in particular) are a big hit around here.

His name probably isn't actually Tom.  Probably Herald.
