A functional gift for my fantastic brother-in-law, who's a potter.
Carved from bone white Corian. (yes, the countertop material) The carvings have been painted with Testor's black paint. Finished to satin, not gloss, to make it easy to keep hold of it when wet.
The sheath is 9/10 oz. English tanned cowhide, pyrographed, hand sewn and lightly colored with coffee. It has a belt loop on the back.
Yes, it's actually a ceramics tool.
This is not for sale, obviously. It's in my bro's possession, and hopefully being enjoyed.
But you can commission clay tools from me for yourself. Just note my main account: =LadyBlacksword

Not sure. He didn't complain, but I haven't seen him in person recently. Mom (Carol) took it up to him. He did say that he was planning on using it, so I guess he didn't hate it.

Ok, will do as soon as Mom and Dad get back in town.
Glad to hear that it's holding up well. Any ideas for improving the size or shape? I just used a cheap wood one that I had as a pattern.... Or ideas for other types of clay shaping tools?

... *is gap jawed and stunned for good critique* HOLY COW. This is so freaking cool!!!!!! I thought that I recognized the shape and then I clicked on the link and was completely floored. I like working with the flexible ribs more but this is just amazing to look at. Lovely job on this.
I will give that one some thought. I have ribs that are larger than that. Some time if you are ever up here we will go to Highwater Clays so you can take a look at what they have available.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
The Cutting Edge is a weekly article that features brand new selected high quality art products that caught our eyes. Check out the cutting edge prints some of your fellow artists have submitted in the past week!
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More

Would you mind if I sent some of my business cards up with Mom for you to take with you? I could use any commissions they might generate.
(Oh, and how's the paint holding up? It's the only thing "experimental" about the design.)
