THING ONE and THING TWO and the creative process....


Penny is like, all crazy ninja all over Spike. You'll see more of that below, she was in a MOOD yesterday...
anyway.
There is a certain favorite book of mine, let's call it the Cat in the H#t, and it has a fish in a teapot, which I have always thought hilarious. And as a potter, you're like "I wanna make that!" and so finally yesterday I made 2, one stand alone fish in a teapot, one for a wall plaque. Super good!

    OMG Cousin Wonderful, absolutely adore the Dr. Suess fish in the teapot...really wonderful. I did a Dr. Suess Teapot long time ago, will post photo...Brilliant minds think alike...lol lol lol..:)
    Love the Penny, Spike, Buster photos, splendid. Love Penny's trying to dominate Spike, Good luck Penny, Spike seems unmoved by your endeavors.
    Our dogs try to dominate cats in this fashion and usually wind up running away in terror, with cat biting their ears...lol Great Blog..truly love the teapot!

    When I was little I was always nervous that the little fish was out of water for too long and was in danger! Sigh.
