David In Indy:
Here is one of Mom's piggy banks! She made several of them. This is one of the larger ones. You can't really see it but there is a small slot at the top.

Your mother was quite a distinct artisan with clay David. Her items have a very unique type and are
so stylistic. It is too bad that she wasnt recognized for the talent that she certainly had. Lovely things
David.
I agree with Jess. Those small building blocks, and the figures are probably worth a great deal of money.
I think it would be a good idea to have them appraised, an have some insurance placed on them. I think it
was so sweet how you chewed the foot off of one and the head off the other one. Gives it all such authenticity
in being used, and cared for. :-*
Kelda:

Thanks Janice! :-*
Mom loved working with clay. She was even thinking about investing in a kiln but then she got sick. After she died we gave her potter's wheel to one of her friends in her class. She would always be the first to confess she wasn't any good at it, but I always thought she was quite talented. She got much better at it as the time progressed. I will take some more pictures of her work and post them here.
Maybe you can take some pictures of the things around your house that bring back special memories for you? I'd love to see them! :D
