Snake bowl #1

kick in the face bowl

These legs are so difficult to work with. This bowl is really just a way for me to practice working with small, thin, and all around delicate parts. I have been trying things with these horse legs for a while now but this is only the second success I have had (horse butt teapot being the first). However, I feel this piece marks a turning point! four sets of legs in this bowl and all of them are perfect.

Aside from enjoying the simple humor of working with this form, I was attracted to the difficulty of working with the thin legs of the horse. It was harder than I thought it would be and this was my third attempt that finally succeeded.
