This bell was inspired by my admiration of strong women.  I love the pensive expresion she has, and the attitude  she projects. The bells are all unique, each with their own decoration and adornments. The Belle bells all have a little chime attached inside that provides a delightful sound when rung. The bells are covered with a rich surface dcoration that adds to the design. Made from stoneware ceramics, they are formed entirely by hand. Surface decoration is done with underglazes, carving, sgraffito and mishima. 
 
Belle bell  measures approximately 4"x 3" (10cm x 7cm).
