More Pottery

I'll bet you're dying to see more of my ceramics masterpieces, right? Here ya go. This first one is a wall pocket. I think it looks kind of ogre-ish. One of my classmates said it reminds her of a character in The Goonies.

Next, we have a pair of little cups. I think they look like they need ice cream in them. Or maybe a frivolous liqueur. Once, on a hot, muggy day in Germany, I was served mango sorbet with a little champagne poured on top. These cups would do for that, too. This is as close to a matched set as I'm ever going to produce. I like how the glaze turned out.


My final item was made at Thing 1's special request. She wanted a mermaid to hang in her bathroom. I was skeptical about my abilities in this regard, but I have to tell you, I really am very pleased with the result. I think it's my favorite thing I've made so far. She's happy with it, too.
