Duck, Duck, Goose!

Before I jump full-force into making Halloween creations, I wanted to pay one last homage to Spring by creating some ducks and geese. For quite some time now I have had an idea to make a "summertime" duck - wearing a bathing suit and holding onto a "duckie" life preserver.
And, I've always wanted to make a Mother Goose..don't know why it's taken me so LONG to get to these ideas - better late than never I suppose. I've also got a Halloween Duck and Christmas Goose in the works as well!

These web-footed friends are in the final drying stages - hope to begin painting them next week. Stay tuned for more photos.

You have a wonderfully silly sense of humour. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished pieces.

Hi David,

These are awesome....I love the goose in the ducky preserver. Mother Goose is pretty cool, too. Can't wait to see them painted.

Hugs,
Meri

They are all just as cute as can be. You've come up with some fantstic little quakers and honkers. So glad to see you paid homage to Spring yet again. My very fav. is the one with the ducky preserver.

All I can think is "quack, quack, honk!!!" These are going to be so cool when they are painted. Can't wait to see because they look so great in clay.

Hmmmm, Halloween?!!! It isn't that far away, is it!!!
