Maria assembled these figures from pre-shaped raku fired shards she created at Grossmont College around 1998\. This is how they originally looked. They have changed over the years. Displaying them on a bed of salt definitely had an effect... 

Stu Schwartz  
I love these!

Richard ChauDavis:  
I am having fun digging up old negatives and scanning them in, more to come. 

John Keasler:  
Do you still have these available for display?

Richard ChauDavis:  
Yes, they assemble horizontally, the colors have changed... Some salt damage. We could assemble them again and send you a picture or have you over after we have put them together... ?
