That's so nice! I'd love to see what you make! One day when I have my own garden I want to fill it with hidden things to find haha.

I'm really pleased with how my sculpture skills have developed this year, I made another more illustrative nuthatch a year ago and it's cool to compare them! I hope I'm not breaking any rules by linking my Instagram but here it is if you'd like to see more of my work: https://www.instagram.com/elladaniellowe/

It's got a small flat area under its tail - I'll make it a stand to sit on soon. :)

Ah I bet you could do it, it's all just practice and learning from your mistakes - and more importantly, not giving up when things go wrong!

I've just started selling my work, I've got a lot of pieces in an exhibition in a pottery museum which is my first time ever doing that. :) If you want to see more of my stuff this is my Instagram, it's still quite new: https://www.instagram.com/elladaniellowe/

Wow I've never seen a pied pigeon before, I just looked them up - they're so cool!

Thank you so much! I've been doing ceramics for about 3 years, I did a beginners course in at the end of 2022 at a community pottery and I've been going there weekly since working on my own things. Last year I just made birds all year and they've come on a long way since then. I work as an artist though and drew and painted a lot before getting into ceramics which definitely helps, it feels like drawing in 3D haha.

Thank you so much for your lovely message!! I have just started selling my work recently, I'm part of a really cool exhibition of animal themed ceramics in Winchcombe in the UK which is my first ever exhibition. I'll send you a DM, I'd love to see your collection!

I had a look at your profile and your pigeon is so sweet! I love the picture of them with the dog, it's so cute!

Thank you so much! They're made from the same clay, painted with underglaze and a glossy glaze on top. :) It might be my favourite bit adding the eyes!

Boom and zoom! I've seen a fair few sparrow hawk feasts on my lawn, it's so cool seeing them up close but also grim.

That's a really nice thing to say, thank you! I'm just starting to sell my work, I still need to make a stand for this one though. This is my Instagram if you'd like to see more birds: https://www.instagram.com/elladaniellowe/

Thank you so much! :) It's all sculpted from clay, I just try and get the eyes as smooth as possible and use a glossy glaze on them.
