Piggy for your Thoughts

Keturah finished the piggy bank for the most part, the only thing left is to give it a good sanding.  So here are some pictures of the pig.

I threw her three forms to work with, and now she doesn't want to make any more pigs.  So she wanted me to open it up to our wonderful readers to see what you kind of ideas you would have for her to make the other two into.  If you need a reminder of what the shapes were here they are again (I'm not sure which one Keturah used for the pig...).

Also, our garden is exploding in this cooler weather we are having.  I counted 23 cucumbers, 12 eggplants, and countless peppers of all types (I even pickled some that I thought might be banana peppers).  We still don't have any tomatoes growing, but we did eat some of the leeks. I noticed that the onions and garlic I thought were dead have come back to life and are doing pretty good.  We are about to start planting some stuff for the fall, more lettuce, carrots, beans, peas, and more stuff like that.  It's exciting!Anyway get back to thinking of something for Keturah to carve/sculpt those forms into...

The Once and Future Pig(s)

One of my friends at work has requested that I make their daughter a piggy bank.  They want one that she can paint her self, which makes things easier on us because we don't have to bother glazing, or anything after bisque firing really.  Here are the three "pigs" I threw today,  I should say that these are the three little pigs that survived today.  I was having a little trouble with getting the walls too thin and caving in on themselves.  So these are the three out of six pigs that survived the day.

We are also planning a glaze firing (finally) not this weekend but the next.  So hopefully, if nothing goes pear shaped, we'll have some finished work to post about.
