the beast aka megapods

I like to make collections of organic pods. I made a large group and Katya (10 yrs old) came to class one day and exclaimed "megapods!" Since then, that is what it was called...until I had to fire it, then I started calling it "the beast" as it took up most of the kiln.

Here is the happy owner who bought it almost instantly when I put it out for sale at the Ashland Farmer's Market this year:

See more pods on my website.

Here are more pictures of The Beast...up close and in different environments. This first two photos are captured by Phil. The Beast looks alive in the grass.
