Here are some medium cylinder people – about 5″ tall or so. I made them in June 2019.
Terracotta clay, fired at cone 06, colored with Velvet underglazes.

They appear to be singing. (K)
They do! I had not thought of it, but when I see the group picture, they do look like they are enthusiastically singing. I hope in tune!
You are a creative person.
Thank you. I think clay is perfect for trying out a lot of different things and it’s so versatile.
It’s interesting what glasses will do. Any one of these faces might be considered serious. Maybe its the hands, almost seeming to be in a vest or suit pocket. But the glasses make for a studious face, one that knows, and can be trusted with, the facts.
Thank you. I’ve worn glasses my whole life and by now I think they are a part of my body. I view them as enhancements of my eyes only and don’t think about the effect their presence has on what people see me, until I make something like these little guys and add them to the “standard” face. I think you are right, the whole feeling changes, and I like the earnestness that particular face now has.
Something about this particular trio immediately made this precise wording form in my head: Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum, and Tweedle Doo.
I am laughing! And I see why you said this, exactly. I consider it a compliment and so the three do, too.
PS As a lifelong wearer of glasses, I enjoyed seeing the bespectacled chap.
Thank you, with me being in the same boat, I wonder why I don’t make more figures with glasses and I want to try to remember this.
Your post actually made me think about the fact I rarely draw glasses. I tend to draw people with full lips, heavy eyebrows, button noses, and straight hair – which are all features I possess – but not glasses, despite the fact I have always worn glasses. I should try to include them more often.
