had a busy week, so to recap . . .

my hands can't seem to stay warm in the studio these days.  my hands and nose (a built-in draught sensor) are usually cold while the rest of me is just fine.  i supose it has something to do with water's innate ability to disipate heat.  since the place is large and airy the heater doesn't do it well, i guess.  i am using warm water but by the time it gets cold i'm knee deep in something and do want to get up.  i've come up with a few odd looking things but they were fun to make.

i threw these cups monday.  didn't get pictures took so today i'll post these and then the resulting cups.



these are more cyclinders/mugs/cups etc:



a cookie jar in the making.



some of those cups.  i made them handleless except the mugs:

         

this jar needs trimming yet.  it is actually a jar with a cup that rests on top for the nightstand:



this is a jar i threw yesterday.  i had thrown a lid for it but when i put them together it didn't look right so i trashed the lid.  at least i know i can do this kind of lid:



a cup i threw yesterday.  it was supposed to be something else, but i was so taken with the form it was taking on, i kept it.  i'll handle it over the weekend, hopefully:



a covered rice/baking dish i threw and will trim and finish over the weekend hopefully:




as you can probly tell, i'm so enjoying my pottery experience these days.  i hope i start selling stuff as i'm really all about the money.  ;)
