Teapots. .. . . .some times I wish I drank tea so I could enjoy them to their fullest extent. . .
A very complicated piece, and easily unappreciated one to the untrained or inexperienced person.
Here are a few awaiting the kiln.

Looks better with good lighting.

Check this out. Porcelain, hope it doesn't look like a taco after the firing.

My day has come and gone. .

I had an assignment to do a slide presentation of my work to my fellow grads and immediately following they were to come to the studio and critique my work. Well my day has come and gone  . . . and I have to say that I tend to get a little nervous. Everything went well. It is what it is. The point of the exercise was to help us as grads to prepare for situations that are inevitably in our futures. I was given a lot of good suggestions! Things that needed brought to my attention, that I wouldn't be able to fully grasp without an outside party. I've heard it said that honesty is the best policy and I think that's the truth. I've tried to be honest in all my public talks, and I think that is what helps me through. It's the reminder in the back of my mind that if I'm telling the truth I can answer any question thrown at me. So I'll never get tripped up in my true intentions, at least once I reach some conclusions from all this self analysis. Thanks to all those who have helped me on my journey so far.

This is an updated picture of the bust I'm working on.
Slow and steady wins the race!

And here's a picture of some guy with some weird thing on his head, I just don't understand what goes on in the heads of the kids these days! I think it's all that darn rock and roll!

Here is a sketch I made during one of our classes. People have a hard time sitting still these days, so when the opportunity arises, I sketch.
