the many variations...


(pottery by Gary Rith)
I have to admit, I am doing so much to these mug variations I start to get a little lost. The just finished but unfired mugs in the middle have it ALL, whacked handle and foot, diagonal slashes on the side, little shell stamps, ruffly rim....seems like zillions of variations possible on the tall-thin-yet curvy shape I have been talking about...
yesterday I posted video (post below) of making this large bowl, now finished and with handles and a shell pressed into it...I think it looks nice :)

    That bowl is absolutely sumptuous. I can't wait to see what colour it will be. It looks red to me.
