grab a snack with this cat

Carol Ross of St. Louis, MO creates ceramics that are formed to be useful, and decorated to be delightful. Here's a bowl from her Etsy shop,The Clay Bungalow, with a bold, jolly cat and his intended menu (and birds and flowers thrown in for good measure). Look at his little feet and hands! Ross says of this piece, "There's that sly cat in the center of a stoneware, sgraffito carved bowl and he's ready to pounce on the scrambling mouse who's trying to make his getaway. Funny little birds and flowers encircle the cat. Mexican pottery influenced the design."
Look at the powerful raven on this mug.  Or this one, with a rabbit sketched in delicate strokes.  How about these lucky elephants?  Ross has a wonderful feel for different folkways in art.  Do visit and enjoy.
