Puffin on the Bluff with Daisies handmade blue mug or for use with flowersI was thrilled to find reference photos for this piece of puffins just being so adorable with each other, these puffins are pictured kissing beaks amongst a spring time on the bluff erupting with daisies. The handle has been carved to mimic their rocky habitat. This piece was created from a wheel thrown body with added sculptural elements. Color is layered throughout the making process at every stage in order to achieve a lively depth in the surface.
