Time for ABC Wednesday again, and we've reached the letter S.
I thought I'd Share another of my birthday presents, so
S
is for
SEAL
When I learned some pottery-making, many years ago, we called these "pebble pots"
You make two bowl-shaped pots and stick them together, then add what decoration you wish.
This one has been adapted to form the shape of a SEAL's head, then glazed to bring out the large dark eyes.
Second Son thinks I should put it in one of my water-garden bowls!
(editing - Petunia asked about the size of my seal. I can hold it in two hands. It measures roughly 9.5cm high by 17 long. And no, I didn't make this, it's beyond my abilities!)
For more ABC Wednesday participants, visit Mrs Nesbitt's Place.
And have a Super Wednesday!

Oh, what a lovely seal's head! Looks like it's emerging from water! Loved it, Miss Dragon. Just cute!

They are just amazing! Beautiful. They remind me of the seals I saw in British Columbia. How I miss them.
Nice to meet you!
That is a cute piece of pottery.

Other bloggers have told med about your seal toady. It is nice! :)

MY S
Did you make that? How clever. Yes, in the water would be a good place for it.
I think it would look lovely in your water garden bowl :-)
How very pretty it is! I love it.
Very creative choise for S!
Nice shots too.
now that is interesting. Such a calm and peaceful visage on your seal there.
Very expressive; that shows a real artist as the head ( and it's expressions) is are not easy to capture.
wow wonderful detail. Very nice S post.
I am glad I am late so I could read your editing comment also! What a beautiful piece! Yes, you should add it to your water garden . . . it is a seal that is "sealed" after all! Ü
I am late in posting mine but I do have an entry posted late yesterday and hope you will drop by if you see this message.
It would be lovely in a p;nd! You would think a seal is coming up to say hi!
My S is here
And here
Nice seal and nice photos. A cosy thing to have around the house.
I love the uniqueness of abc wednesday photos; your 'S' seal is delightful. Thank you for your visit to mine.
Your seal has personality. That is a unique S post. ThankS.
Beautiful, you are so creative, I love it!!!!
What a beautiful gift! Seals have such amazing eyes, and the artist captured that perfectly!
Thanks for visiting! That is one sweet seal! I love that face.
So creative and handy you are!I also went to a ceramic class in the eighties, but mostly we made pots and vases.The seal is so cute, please send one to me :-=)
Nice S post.
"Louis" thanks you for visiting San Francisco Bay Daily Photo.
"Louis's" "S" was a "S"ubmarine.
I like the bowl idea - it would look just like they do in the wild then.
I'm surprised you didn't get a dragon for your birthday though!
