A few of the local deer!  I got back from working at the art center today and these guys were bedded down between the barn and my driveway.  I spooked them but they just trotted off to the side yard, where they let me grab the camera and tripod to take these.  I was about 10 feet away for most of these, and these guys were obviously really concerned.

Well, I've posted a few quick updates on Facebook over the past few weeks, but its past time for one here!  I've been working on some internal stuff, thinning, fusing, and reinforcing, but that doesn't show in photos.  Here's a slideshow of stuff that DOES!  

I'm embarrassed to admit I really underestimated how much time this was going to take, between being able to use the art center fewer hours than planned, the day job taking more hours than planned, and the clay being soupy-wet out of the bag so it takes more working.  So far though  I think its going pretty well.  She's about 10 inches tall at the moment in the front, the back will catch up soon!
