This is a collaborative piece by Christopher Youngblood and Jennifer Tafoya.  It is a jar that was made and carved by Chris.  It was polished by both of them and then traditionally fired a deep black coloration.  After the firing, Jennifer etched the designs into the clay.  The jar has a matte cloud design around the neck and base.  There are 11 carved butterflies on the jar. Note how each butterfly is different in style and direction.  They are tightly etched with designs on the wings.  The wings are then slipped with red and white clays.  Did you notice the body of each butterfly is micaceous clay!  There is blue clay used to highlight the clouds. It is a creative vessel but striking in design and amazing in the complexity of levels of carving.  It is signed by both Chris and Jennifer.
