Otters playing –
Alabaster, copper and Portland roach
Alabaster, copper and Portland roach
This is a beautiful example of Alabaster and all of the colour and wonder it brings.
Alabaster is a soft, translucent stone that has been used for centuries to create beautiful works of art. Its smooth surface and delicate coloration make it a popular material for carving, and it has been used to create everything from sculptures to jewellery.

Otters Playing – I live in South Devon beside the river Avon which flows down to the sea near Burgh Island. The river is a marine reserve and we have a family of otters there. I love the grace of their movement in the water. They swim through the reeds, represented here by reclaimed beaten copper (I was pleased to find some with verdigris for perfect colouring!). The markings in the brown alabaster is really beautiful and slightly translucent – it evokes the light rippling through the water.
