Here's the progress so far. All I can see is a dog wearing goggles...

The long red and black (4th picture) caught his eye. He says it looks like a red tornado. I agree.

Your pieces are always amazingly beautiful! That being said...dang you! I see the goggle-dog too...and now I can't unsee it! LOL

This looks like an island rising in the mist above the ocean for me. Super enchanting.

Thanks! That's what I was going for. Someone else told me a sand storm so I guess that works too

I have a secret. Some of these didn't go so well but I can't tell if it's my technique (lack of...) Or maybe wheels getting old or what. Just couldn't get some of the scratches out. Anyway, I decided I wanted a polished back on the island one and on the dog one, so I popped them in the tumbler. Those backs are mirror at this point.

Something about the last one speaks to me. They deserve a place in the MOMA (I thought this was going to be a post about the Museum Of Modern Art).
