This woman is going places! The cardinal totem represents boldness and creativity. She is not afraid to wear her femininity proudly. In fact, she chooses the cardinal to tell the world, “Watch me soar!”

The Choctaw diamond pattern represents her life path. The spirals symbolize the life force and personal path.

Crafted from white stoneware, partially covered with black slip, covered with wax, then the cardinal and other designs are carved. The cardinal is colored with bright red under glaze before the first firing.  Finally, clear glaze is applied to seal the sgraffito work and colored glazes to complete the piece. It is then fired to 2167 degrees.
