I am not a cavewoman, but I try

I have served as officer for several organizations over the past years. Why do I never volunteer for treasurer/exchequer? I thought I had over 30 mugs with cave images on them and there were 8. The rest of the kiln was full so they weren't spirited away by the studio centaurs, it was my math.


About 5" tall

Same mug as the first, just another side.


The cup above is with underglaze rather than on maiolica. The good thing about underglaze is that there is a greater range of temperature available. With the maiolica recipe I use, it is cone 6 or nothing.




I love the curve of so many of the horses' bellies.


Thinking of adding gray stain to the maiolica base to get it more "cavey" as another experiment

those are incredible. And I loved the link to the Lascaux virtual tour. (thanks for that)

Thank you. I have been loving the websites and thinking how lucky we are if we can't visit to be able to see such good replicas of the paintings on line. When I was studying art history (back when there was less of it ;-) ) Some of the things I love so much were given just a couple of minutes of the professor's time. At the time I wondered why they even included cave art or Medieval illumination? Merely 3" Black and white photos in a book.
