California Death Valley Clay is her favorite to work with. She uses no potter's wheel. Just her hands, a small table high enough for her to stand at or use a tall stool to sit at, and some stick looking tools for fine detail. Then the art goes into a kiln. Then she paints it.
Time is consumed.
She is happy and content as she watches her glob turn into art that makes people s jaws drop to the floor. Every single piece is original. She might try to duplicate one on a special request but it still won't be the same one. It will be a spin off and original in its own right. She uses her own recipe to stain the carvings, which looks like a red tinted walnut wood.
