Sunday Ceramics 18

Hares and Rabbits!  I can't believe it's the first of June.  At last Summer!  I hope all those who are under the equator don't have to endure the winter we experienced here in the north.

Enough said.  We are enjoying golden days now.

Below are some mugs in progress.  The rooster mug is waxed that's why his color is so much more intense than the others.  This is a fairly new style for me.  Square, but with flared, rather than straight sides.  They should hold about ten ounces when finished.  I am thinking of leaving the flower mug on the end with a white background.  I haven't used white backgrounds in years.  It's making me a little anxious, but hey, it's only one mug!


I wish the companies that make swimming pool vacuum hoses would make sturdier ends.  I have had to replace too many hoses because the connectors crack or break.  This is true across the board no matter the cost.  Nothing like a little built in obsolescence to make things interesting....grrrrr!  I bought a very short hose that I am going to try cutting the ends off and putting on the long hose.  We'll see, grasshopper....we'll see.

I am going to post this over on Kim's Sunday Ceramics 18.  This is going to be the last week.  I don't blame her for stopping, but I'LL MISS YOU, KIM!  Thanks for taking the time to do this.  I hope potters will stay connected one way or another.

Enjoy the week ahead and, as always, thanks for stopping by.............*s*
