$ 700.00

Debra Duwyenie is well known for her wonderful miniatures and incised designs. Each piece is stone polished and then it is etched before it is fired! This seedpot has seven turtles encircling the piece.  Each of them has a different design etched onto its back.  The turtles are surrounded by stars and in the center is a flower pattern.  Each of the larger turtles has a different design etched into its shell.  The one with the wavy lines is the “shifting sand” design and it is meant to represent her husband, Preston Duwyenie.  After the piece is fired black it is “two-toned” sienna in areas. Debra also pays close attention to the little details like the gray background area and how evenly she etches the vertical lines.  The seedpot is signed, “Debra” on the bottom in the clay.
