This is Day 11 of 14 of my Clayfolk Art Show exhibit! I started with Lorene Senesac, Rhonda Hampton, Steve Kirkland, Bruce Finch, Vera Rogers, Jan Lacy, Cheryl Kempner, CJ June, Shirley Usher and Debra & Larry Nelson.

Today's featured artist is Nina Fernstrom-Duong! Can you say cute and adorable?! How about hilarious and irresistable?! Nina's "Happy Raku Fish" are unique and wonderful fun fish which either hang from lines or sit on a pedestal or a shelf. Every one is different, and all of them have expressions that cause me to laugh and "speak for them", all with a big smile on my face! The colorful glazing on her fish are bright and cheery, and I absolutely love the crackling and depth in every spot of color. I enjoyed appreciating all of her fish, one by one, and am so impressed at Nina's ability to transfer human emotion so perfectly to her beautiful clay fish. I have no doubt that people collect "schools" of her fish like mad! WELL DONE! :D

There are 8 images showing Nina's fabulous fishies, and I hope that you will make sure to see them all! They're sure to make you just as happy as they make me! Also, the last image shows a close-up of the gorgeous crackled glaze on one of her pieces and should not be missed!
