recent greenware

I have had fun using my kid's bouncy balls as forms for different size bowls.

Experimenting with different shapes and forms for bowls, mugs, tea cups

A BIG coffee mug for my tall uncle. *he is an electrical engineer and wired my kiln for me. :)

My little corner of heaven, before my dad put up a handy-dandy "tool-holder"...

my testers from class

My first surviving mug, the others gave way to being casualties of living in a neighborhood full of kids. (sometimes, the only time I have to work, is when my kids are outside playing, then OTHER kids want to come watch, and like to poke clay) I am more careful now.

A wacky twisted mug for a goofy boyfriend... unfortunately these pictures are all I have.

This time, it was my DAD who couldn't resist "picking up" shown mug, not understanding it was still in it's greenware state.

I'm actually glad it didn't survive. I wasn't crazy about the shape or handle placement, but I love the handle itself.

I'm going to play with the handle concept a little more...

a few more "bouncy ball bowls"

I'm trying to fill my kiln soon so I can get these guys fired!

I'm also working on bookmarks for a sale in Lodi, I need more time in the day!
