Guardian Horse Raku Wall Piece
This is a beautiful irregular shaped raku wall piece measuring approximately 20 1/2" L X 10" W. It hangs like a painting and is designed to stand away from the wall about 1/2" for an extra dynamic. The surface is faux rock and has a stylized horse with embellished spiral. This particular horse, called a "Guardian" is in honor of my first horse who took good care of me when I was a young girl and inexperienced rider...she'd wait for me when I fell off!
The coloration of this piece is beautiful with glossy golden & coppery iridescent hues. Ships FREE within the continental USA. For international shipping, please contact the artist.

"The Challenge" Fringed Mixed Media Raku Wall Piece
Made to simulate a slab of stone, this piece measures approximately 34" L (including fringe) X 22" wide and has a rich "faux rock" surface accented with one of a kind glossy raku coloration. The two rearing stallions, facing off as they do and will in the wild, is the reason for the title "The Challenge". The horse images were originally drawn and highly stylized by the artist and are inspired by her lifelong love of horses. The fringe is comprised of mixed fibers, colors and textures the artist felt best compliments the piece. Included in the fringe are three metal feathers: one turquoise/copper colored and two on either side which are a bronze finish. Also accenting the fringe are strands of turquoise and glass beads. The fringe is best kept dust free with the use of compressed air and the artist highly recommends the same cannister type used for cleaning computer keyboards. Works great! This magnificent raku wall piece is wired from the back to hang like a painting and, in addition, it is designed to stand away from the wall about 3/4-1" for an extra dynamic. It will be a beautiful addition to any home or office setting. THIS PIECE IS CURRENTLY BEING DISPLAYED IN ANOTHER LOCATION. Contact Artist for additional information!

Detail-Kokopelli Raku Wall Clock

Picture
This impression of "Kokopelli" was originally hand sculpted by the artist and made into the artist's own stamp. The blackened edges of the clock occurred naturally by the saturation of carbon during the raku process. Post firing, the artist further blackens the edges with the use of acrylic paint to assure it's remaining a rich black over time. The copper Kokopelli was achieved with the use of a particular glaze mixed by the artist.

Blue Copper Raku Wall Piece
Gorgeous with splashy raku coloration, this piece measures approximately 10 1/2 L X 15 1/2" W and would make quite the statement on the wall of any home or office! Lynne used two different glazes on this piece: the base glaze is a blue matte and the copper drip areas are a glossier raku glaze. Following the basic glaze applications, the glossier glaze was then "spattered" overall for visual texture. It's a beautiful piece! Domed in the center, it is contrasted by the curved, organic edges which give it a very sculptural feel. It hangs easily by use of the two rawhide loops on either side.
