Thank you so much everyone, I’m glad you like “Alpine Meadow”! 🙂 Her eBay auction ends in a day and is located here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180532032843

Here is a preview of my latest Keeper named “Raku Fire”. (His eyes aren’t in because I don’t have them yet, sorry!)

Raku is an ancient Japanese method of firing pottery. The pottery is taken out of the kiln at around 1800 degrees and put into a reduction container with newspaper. It is allowed to smoke for about 15 minutes, and then cooled quickly.

I wanted to paint a Keeper inspired by the gorgeous colors that can be achieved in Japanese Raku pottery. “Raku Fire” has been airbrushed with an interweaving of pearlescent red, blue, purple, copper, orange and green. All of the colors shift as you move him under light. He will also feature hand painted interference accents.

I still have a few more things left to do on him, including the special gift he holds for you. 🙂 He’ll be ready to go soon!

I did some raku waaaaay back when (I was still in grade school) in my pottery class and just loved it. Yours does certainly evokes this! I recall more black with green and copper accents, though. (could be a memory failure!)

Do you by chance have any photos of your Keeper in outdoor lighting?

[machineguts]

there’s actually quite a bit of reds/blues that can show up with copper and green in Raku firing. Here are a few examples:
