Maybe try being more deliberately asymmetrical with the sides? I'm not sure what to suggest about the handle, it's difficult when they look great but feel wrong. I'm sure you'll figure something out.Lori Buffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233955188892423314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544034656423752886.post-24620478349966391622012-03-27T17:04:32.675-04:002012-03-27T17:04:32.675-04:00Hi Linda...I never really watched I Dream of Jeann...Hi Linda...I never really watched I Dream of Jeannie, but I've been drawn to Aladdin lamps since I was very young. The clay body I use is a terra cotta fired to^04...it's a wonderful, toasty color. White glazes get a very warm look on it.<br /><br />Hi Lisbeth...thanks for stopping by. I look forward to seeing more of your work. I'm on the east coast of the USA...so I think you are about six hours earlier thanI am.smartcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15430370214403895826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544034656423752886.post-44507131641518160912012-03-27T16:10:54.606-04:002012-03-27T16:10:54.606-04:00Hi there, thanks for your visit.

It's late here in Sweden, and off to bed soon, but will be back and look some more at your work. //LisbethLisbeth Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06104200079856558772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544034656423752886.post-87065099817816341002012-03-27T16:07:55.054-04:002012-03-27T16:07:55.054-04:00This teapot reminds me of one of those I dream of ...This teapot reminds me of one of those I dream of Jeanie lanterns somehow. I bang my pinch pots with the back of a wooden spoon to wack them into shape. The colors is rather interesting, Is the color the color of the clay or is it fired that color?Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544034656423752886.post-65572354903410507232012-03-27T13:13:37.795-04:002012-03-27T13:13:37.795-04:00Hi Judy....thanks...like the idea of reversing han...Hi Judy....thanks...like the idea of reversing handle and spout....when the downstairs warms up again I think I'm going to do a series of five....more room to experiment.<br /><br />And, yes, I think you should open a bag of clay. I bet you would find a lot of changes in your work after working so much with design, words and color.smartcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15430370214403895826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544034656423752886.post-84715041087248895912012-03-27T13:07:08.500-04:002012-03-27T13:07:08.500-04:00Well - first - I love that pile of pets - Winter l...Well - first - I love that pile of pets - Winter looks right at home. <br />And I love your teapot form, one thing when I looked at it I thought about reversing the spout and the handle????
