Chrome Painted Houses
Chrome Painted Houses Huddled Together
Chrome Houses Close Up
Many years ago I created these houses out of clay. They were fired without glaze because our school’s glaze was pretty much of home made quality and I didn’t trust it. I wanted some Dr. Suess type colors—pink and purple and green and red—that were bright and brilliant. Thus, they went uncolored for many years. The other day, I woke up and had the idea to just spray paint them chrome. The next day I bought the paint, the next day they were painted. I love their new color and what a great feeling to finally finally finally finish.
I love them…kind of Wizard of Oz meets Dr. Suess. When you came home from school with all of your beautiful pottery and sculptures, I felt like I hit the jackpot at Pottery Barn…except everything was more unique! Alass I only get a couples of pieces that I still treasure. I love you.
