[Singular]

Well done Shelley. Nice job.

[jenn_iam]

Wow... shelley... I really like these..
My favorite is the one kneeling that you can see her feet..

[shelley wheeler]

thanks jenn_jam, i really like making feet too i cleaned them up since the pic and hid faces in the texture of the mushroom...we will see what the kiln does

Yeah, the feet in the back are a nice touch. The curve of her spine on the one on the left is a beautiful moment. The posture of the middle figure is a little awkward. I have trouble making sense of what she's doing. Is she crouching, poised about to take off for flight? If so I think this could be strengthened. Maybe find a model or a photograph of someone in this position if you haven't all ready next time you try a similar pose. It's not an easy one to capture.

thanks for the intelligent and thoughtful critic...wow! you should do that for a living because not only are your ideas helpful, but i feel like ive arrived somehow...nice...the one in the middle is a garden goddess and shes pulling the sprouts from the earth...imagine using a live model, wouldnt THAT be something...

[Haleyo]

This might be an ignorant question, but what are the holes in the bottom for?

[shelley wheeler]

its a water pipe thats where the bowl goes

[Haleyo]

Very nice
