(teapot by Gary Rith)
Teapot Tuseday number TWO, already! Purists would argue that Thursday a week and a half ago was the first teapot Tuesday...but it was just a warmup.
Check out my big terrier teapot today, it can be yours! For sale now at my etsy gallery!
In other news, I made sure to color coordinate my shirt to this big blue bowl yesterday for the photo shoot (yeah, right!). That sucker is big. Before I fired it I was certain it was the biggest bowl I had ever made...and how could I know that??? BECAUSE it fit into the kiln with less than half an inch to spare on each side...which I can't recall before... I don't make bigass pots too often but like to silence the critics by sometimes picking a big hunka clay and showing how big my.... skills is :)
(there are potters out there who delight in competing at making big pots... probably to compensate for their wee little .... imaginations ;)


Finally, I made bagels yesterday... I was in a hyper mood. I don't drink any caffeine but I am a very hyper person nonetheless. I walked the dog then ran five miles because I couldn't sit still, then baked bagels and muffins and got dinner ready yesterday morning... all just so I could chill out enough to get into the studio and make pots---which I did then for several hours..... my dad said the other day, quite correctly:
"you're a very peppy person". Sometimes! OK, a damn LOT of the time.
YES, I crashed and fell deeply asleep pretty damn early. I get all excited, like now, when I wanna get up at like 3 or 4 and eat them bagels then wooHOOOO! Next thing you know I am reading at 8pm and asleep at 8:01...
have an awesome Tuesday :)

Nice tea pot and nice bowl. That would make a great serving bowl.
