Spectacular Birdhouse

Ambre came up to the house today and made another birdhouse. Folks, this one is the bomb.
It's two tiered and very large. The first photo shows how big it is with Ambre and Haley in the picture.
The next picture show the house a little closer up. It kind of resembles an acorn. Ambre used some twisted vine around both doors and added a ring around the joint. Then she added some oak type leaves for decoration. We know it will be fine when we bisque fire it but when we have to glaze fire this one, Oh Boy!
I made the next plaque style birdhouse today also. I threw this dome on the wheel and added it to the plaque. It did save some time and was much easier to work with. Please remember that these pieces you have seen today are freshly made and greenware. They are extremely fragile. Wish us luck in keeping them from breaking til their fired. Thanks for stopping by.
