pouring pitchers and p!ss!ng!


Have you ever had that dream? This is s'posed to be YET another post about pitchers which would SURELY bore you to tears (as I say so often, potters talking to each other about pots has GOT to be boring, so I shake it up here, right???) but reality intrudes. And WE GO TO THE GUTTER with the bad taste today.

I am dreaming a minute ago about that I am searching high school for the boys' room....and finally find it.  It is an outdoor fountain space, you can p!ss in all kinds of interesting ways on all kinds of fountains! The most high tech collection of urinals ever assembled..in an outdoor park.  (I suspect this is a dream detail women may not understand) Anyway, I am going...and going...and going...and for some reason some of my high school enemies are there and I even p!ss on THEM.....but it is AGONY because I still need to go...finally, as you might imagine, I wake up in a cold sweat and realize that a visit to my comparitively LOW-TECH john will take care of things....

Right.  Back to the usual blather.
These pitchers just came outta the kiln, nice, eh?  I have 4-6 leaf glaze schemes tested that I like, these are 2 of them.  The vase below is a third.

Speaking of vases...thanks CSNY...this is one of the wife's favorites, mmm, mmmm GOOD!

"Our House"
I'll light the fire, you place the flowers in the vase that you bought today.
Staring at the fire for hours and hours while I listen to you
Play your love songs all night long for me, only for me.

Come to me now and rest your head for just five minutes, everything is good.
Such a cozy room, the windows are illuminated by the
Sunshine through them, fiery gems for you, only for you.

Our house is a very, very fine house with two cats in the yard, life used to be so hard,
Now everything is easy cause of you and our la, la, la:

Yes, having flowers on these grey days is a GOOD idea...and of course pitchers double for vases very nicely!

that's a favorite song of mine as well, the pitchers are great and remind me of Spring.
