\"claire\"claire<\/a>How about we go from intriguing to just ‘wow!’ today? I don’t know what theme this might fall under, but I had to stop and share this regardless of theme.<\/p>\n

I was rather\u00a0floored by the sight of these beauties when they popped up on my Flickr feed yesterday. These brooches were created by\u00a0Claire Wallis.<\/a> Not only are they a beautiful likeness of this bird of prey, but the cane has a striking painterly quality to it. Not being a very accomplished caner myself I may be more\u00a0often amazed than many by what the talented cane clayers do in our community, but even so, I can’t imagine many of you aren’t at least just a tad impressed.<\/p>\n

She’s even given us a peek at her work in progress\u00a0with this work table shot here. I brought that up on my big screen and got lost in the pattern of the chest feathers. There’s just a\u00a0beautiful flow to it that would be lovely in any medium.<\/p>\n

Claire did a wonderful rooster cane last year that was pretty amazing too, but I think this particular image really shows off her approach with amazing results. She’s been creating wonderful bird canes for a while it seems, but these last too, and this one in particular are just, wow! I can’t wait to see what else she does in\u00a0canes this year.<\/p>\n

You can see more of Claire’s\u00a0canes and other beautiful\u00a0creations on her Flickr site<\/a>.<\/p>\n
