IN other news, YES, June first is my favorite day of the year. Why not? May and September are pretty great for us, but June-August is 3 months of FINE weather guarenteed AWESOME! Yesterday was a fitting end to May: it was so cold, forties, the wife had her winter coat on when we went out...enough of that crap, give us some summer!
Finally, if you had a beagle like this you would sculpt her too, right? The other day I was moving a flower pot with a black lab pot sticker sculpture in that I made about 20 years ago....(see below) modeled after our lab Jack--it also happens to be just about the VERY FIRST sculpture I ever made of anything.

That is a sweet tea pot.
Summer is here, we are looking at hot soon.
That's going to be a beautiful teapot...and what great Snoopy, er, Peanuts, er Penny! little sculptures.
What a great idea for dressing up the house plants. Tea pot is sweet too.
I was making dog and cat sculptures for this adorable little girl at the show this past weekend. They aren’t easy but they are cute.
I just bought a little bunny flower pot stake the other day. Never occurred to me to get one before but I saw it and had to have it.
Sort of how I'm feeling about that gorgeous teapot. That is a thing of beauty!
