Sprigging

Decorating my covered jars with attached sprigs, using a mix of red clay and porcelain.  I really do love making covered jars--my favorite form.  I have left spaces on some of the lids around the leaves for me to cuerda seca an image.  The sprig molds were made during the beginning of spring when the leaves were starting to poke their heads out.  Now I wish I had made more.   Alas, I will need to wait until next spring for the leaves to be little again.
Bruce likes to sprig too.  Here is his spider skull!  

Note: Warming Up:  I posted an image of my finished covered jars.
