Birds and Stoneware

I've started to play around with circular designs again, as I've started up wheelwork night classes again, this round taught by Warrick Palmateer who is awfully skilful at throwing a casserole dish. The Friends of the Western Ground Parrot (a group dedicated to protecting the critically endangered local) are running an art contest and I decided to... I shouldn't say 'kill two birds with one stone', given the subject, but given that the subject is birds, and I work with stoneware clay in my ceramics pieces... it's quite irresistible.

As the competition is being determined by voting popularity, I would appreciate it if anyone who has the time, and feels so inclined, could here for my entry, or here for another entry.
