Ceramic 'i'iwi ocarinas!

At some point, I decided that any time I make some little sculptural or figurine piece, I want it to have a secondary interesting thing…. which means they usually become little rattles/shakers or they become whistles/ocarinas. These birds got to be ocarinas!!




I have five of them, but I just realized I have no photos of all of them together! Doh!

These are very cute! I love the practical use as well. AlAre they actually functional as ocarinas?

Charming birds!
I’ve always been fascinated by ocarina figurines. A bird figurine that sings makes a lot of sense.

Thank you so much, everyone! Maybe I’ll try to make a short video demo to share! :joy:

Also, @Tanath the tricky part is deciding if it’s better to blow into its mouth or its tail. :grimacing:
