Building a fish...

...one scale at a time

New glaze: Coyote Red-Gold

7-inch discus plate...
White stoneware, with Coyote brand "Red-Gold" and "Gunmetal Green"

Proud parent (discus in progress)

6.5 inch dessert plate. There are more babies on the back...

Fish jars

I've been calling these guys Bubba and Junior.

Bass and goldfish... The bass is 15 inches long, the goldfish about 5.

Bubba in progress... I wanted the inside to be smooth and well-finished and the exterior more rough.

It took a couple of tries to get a nice, round belly.

Betta noodle bowl

Betta splendens... always a favorite with me.

Guppies!

It's a dessert plate, and that's Light green shino glaze in the middle. It'll be a few weeks before I can get it fired...

Back of the Angelfish plate

Some bottom-feeders: three Cory cats, a clown Pleco, a Siamese algae eater (at the top), and an impossibly small frog (in the center). All are residents of my sister's peaceful tank.

Tiny little goldfish jar

5 inches long, 3.5 inches tall

Angelfish dinner plate (in progress)

"The Orange Crusher" with nine Lemon tetra (based on my sister's tank. I'll paint her bottom feeders on the back of the plate.)
