Mighty Aphrodite Mighty Aphrodite comes apart to reveal an empty womb. There, you can write your fondest dream on a small piece of paper, put her torso carefully back on again, and in 9 months your dream will come true (maybe). She is made from clay with a Raku finish, measuring 8 X 5 X 4..
	She Restoreth My Soul The clay form at the top of this sculpture was wood-fired in the groundhog kiln at the Ozark Folk Center in Mountain View, Arkansas, before being combined with the natural rock from the Ozark Mountains and the hand-mixed cement base. Because the top form is clay, protect the work from freeze-thaw cycles. This sculpture with the loving embrace is 12 inches high, 13 wide and 11 deep, and would make an excellent alter piece.
	The Perfect Wife This mobile captures only a few of the many roles the perfect wife is supposed to embrace. No wonder some find such high standards impossible to meet. The piece is about 3 feet long and over 2 feet wide. Some of the fishing gear in the Tiffany bag and on the bait trap are antiques.

	Super Man Thinking Super Man Thinking is a contemporary piece which placed in The Fort Smith Art Center competition. The mixed media work includes a hand-made torso of clay (7 inches high, 5 1/2 inches wide and 7 inches deep) on a foot-square manufactured tile which is attached to a revolving Lazy Susan.
	Twin Snakes Twin Snakes is about 7 inches tall and 7 inches around. It is made from glazed clay.
	Snake Circle Snake Circle is a glazed clay piece 3 inches high and 4 1/2 inches around. It's soft colors and the simple lines speak of an elegant, primitive beauty. Snake Circle can be displayed with or without a thin candle.
	Palm Goddess Palm Goddess is 3 inches high and 2 inches across. This small piece of fired clay evokes a feeling of primitive spirituality. The snake in her lap can serve as a holder for a thin candle.
	Want Fries With That? Want Fries With That? is a mixed media sculpture of primarily clay which stands about 8 inches tall. It is an interactive piece, as the clay torso can actually serve as a message board by adding or subtracting the plastic bag of french fries. When the household or office is running smoothly, the fries can be left near the bottom of the piece or tucked away in a drawer. When far too many demands start piling up, the fries can be placed in the tray on the figures's shoulders, to give a visual warning (not unlike the disturbing sound of a rattlesnake) to back off.
	Sheltered Sheltered stands 5 inches tall, 4 wide and 3 deep: it is made of clay which has been smoked by adding newspapers to the kiln while firing.
	Primitive Woman, Raku Unlike my other Primitive Woman hanging sculptures, this one cannot take the outdoor elements. Like all Raku work, it needs protection from the elements, and stays bright longest if kept away from direct sunlight. This piece measures 10 X 6 X 1.5.
