More clay garden art!

Recently I've been making a lot of things out of clay. Myself and a few neighbours have set up a little ceramics group where we meet once a month or two and play with clay. These photos are from the latest batch.

Joey rescue

Below is a photo of a baby kangaroo (joey) we rescued who had a broken arm. We took him to the wildlife centre who will care for him until he's ready to be released into the wild again. He was so adorable. I put him in a large bucket with a blanket and wheat pack to keep him warm for the car trip.

Mosaic pot

I wanted another pot plant on my back verandah and decided to buy a terracotta pot and mosaic it. As the pot is quite large I thought it would look good with just a section of it mosaiced. I was happy with the end result as the mosaic band complements the colour of the terracotta nicely. I now have a yellow Gardenia in the pot and can't wait for it to flower!

Wood sculpture

While my partner was cutting wood with the chainsaw I noticed some beautiful smaller pieces of dead wood with smooth edges. I decided to attack them with the axe and ended up with a series of similar size pieces. I drilled holes in the middle of them all and threaded them through some thin rope. I have now hung my new sculpture in the fernery and I am preparing to make a second one!
