Actually, it's true, since my daughter got engaged last month, and now copies of Brides and The Knot magazine are all over the house.
I got to thinking about how I am missing the boat in designing something for a wedding cake topper. I came up with this little sculpture of two sweet birds.
You know, the first time you make something, it's always harder than the 10th time
- and this was a pain.

The two birds are closed pinch pot forms that I modeled and joined
together while the clay was still moist.

I like how the color of the tan clay peeks thru the icy blue glaze.
I need to think of more wedding items I can make. It was a lot of fun making this one. It's newly listed in my Etsy shop, along with a few new spirit guides.
Here's the koala spirit guide in a much better photo.
He really came out pretty cute, if I do say so.
