The accent pieces from the other materials are very nice. I like how the bands on the quills contrast with the grey and black crackle glazing, and the nearly bleached white of the jaw bone seems to pull it together quite nicely.

x_x, sorry...i can't give much more of a critique.

This is just a superb piece. I am immediatly drawn to the monochromatic palatte and the jawbone really kicks it up a notch (natural or ceramic?). The bone like echos in the crackle pattern are a nice visual resonance. My only small negative might lie in the quills, their liniarity and colour temperature don't seem to be echoed anywhere else in the piece, for me it fights rather than compliments the piece, but again , a small negative and only based on first impression, masterfully done. :clap:

Sincerely appreciate your thoughts!

The jawbone is natural (found while walking the dog). As I look again at the picture of the piece, I agree with your assessment of the quills; they really seem out of place. Good call.

Thanks, Jerry

Very cool use of found art (and where do you walk your dog?) ;)
Love your work.

I just looked through your whole gallery, trying to see if I could find some sort of a personal favorite.. I literally gasped when I saw this. I don't really know what it is.. maybe the black and white colour scheme, with the random dash of the quills? I honestly can't say. the jawbone is very exotic, which adds a nice touch. I really love this ^^
