Alma - The Mermaid

In my mind a clay sculpture should be something pleasant, cheerful and thought provoking. There are many unpleasant things in life. I don't want to create more of them. - Lester Jones

"Honestly, I can not explain where this desire to make mermaids come from. When I created my first raku fired mermaid, I was amazed at how well my homemade metallic copper green glaze worked with the mermaid's body suit. It was a good match with the honey brown complexion I use with most of my sculptures".
