Good news though is that I got 20 mugs done and ready to fire as soon as they are dry enough. With the rate stuff was drying I may be able to fire them in the morning.
Here are a few pictures of my latest stuff:
The first is a teaset I made for a wedding present for our dear friend Jon and his wife Tiffany.
And these nest two are teapots I made just to force myself to make teapots. For potters, teapots are kind of the final exam. There is a lot of designing that has to go into a teapot, and lots of things to keep in mind about placement, etc. To do a good teapot, you have to be a pretty good potter. I always shied away from doing teapots. Some still little voice told me if I wanted to call myself I potter, I better make sure I was able to master ALL forms...and not go easy on myself. After 40 plus years throwing, I ought to be able to make a teapot! So, I did. I made several. And it was fun.
