“Raku Fire” is complete! 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. He has been embellished with hand painted interference accents and features custom metallic eyes from Dreaming Tree Studios. He has a topaz tail jewel and holds a genuine Raku fired pottery bird in his paw, hung with raffia thread. He has been sealed with a high gloss varnish and his felt pad is signed by me.

“Raku Fire” is $250.00 plus shipping, first come first serve. PM me or reply here if interested!

omg… those eyes are so wicked! I really hadn’t been impressed enough with the custom eyes to get any… but I REALLY like these. SWEET!

They remind me of my tree boa’s eyes.

Hey everyone, due to an emergency expense I have reduced the price of the “Raku Fire” Keeper from $250.00 to $150.00. This is an excellent deal considering the Raku bird pendant alone was $20 w/ shipping. I accept PayPal for payment and will ship via the carrier of your choice. Shipping will be calculated upon purchase. I have not glued in the custom eyes yet, so buyer will have a choice between the custom eyes or light blue eyes. PM me or reply here if interested!
