The Barefoot Potteress @ Etsy.com

I'm returning to something i love, expressing my creativity. My current media are clay and textiles and I hope to expand at some point. I'm glad I've found Etsy and hope to become a contributing member of the community.

On my pottery items, you'll find I don't do perfectly round, machine-made-looking, cookie-cutter mimickry. you'll find things many times are off center, less than perfect, but, shouting handmade to the world. Please enjoy your purchases. I'm looking forward to making boxes, doodads, buttons, and other pottery items for sale. My pottery is signed Myrrha.

A word on coffee pots vs. tea pots so you'll always know by looking at my pots which they are. A coffee pot typically has the spout at the top because the grounds sink to the bottom of the pot. A tea pot has the spout hole at the bottom because the tea leaves float. Keep in mind that since coffee is usually filtered before being placed in the pot for serving, there are no grounds to worry about. And, since tea is usually made in a tea filter of some sort, there are no tea leaves to worry about. Thus, the post can be used for either tea or coffee or both.

i continued in the coffee/tea pot workshop today. oh, my it's so informative. i will be putting my pots up for sale when they're done. i've posted the bisque stage pic of my serving trays. i'll be hanging them on my wall. i plan to glaze them to match the curtains i'll be making soon. see below for the newest pics. i fondly refer to my tea pot as a steam punk pot. it'll be sold w/6 matching cups hopefully. six because the flippin' thing is huge. i also have a round pot in the works made from a jar looking form. also the first attempt to throw a pot will be made into an interesting teapot also. it'll have a funky looking foot if i can pull it off.
