My thoughts on my life, my pottery, my family and my farm - but mostly, my pottery.

Now for a Bit of Fun
Meet Puff-n-Stuff (remember the old kids TV show)?
I have a major affinity for dragons - and it shows in my pottery.
Anyway - Puff is a little Teapot that I've been working on - and he was a real challenge in many ways:
-How to position the spout and body?
-What to do about hands and feet?
-Where to put the wings - for that matter - how
to do wings?
Our local guild is having a "fun" teapot
show/contest in a few weeks, and I've been
busy working on this fella for a few weeks now.
I have to say - he has been a learning process,
as he is mostly handbuilt - and I am not a
hand builder.
But I think that is a big part of this whole competition - is to learn from our experiences.
If I had to do it over again - there are several
little changes I would make to him.
But for Now - I am pleased. All that is left to
do is put gold lustre on his horns and wings.
I think he should be a fun addition to the contest.
I'd love to hear what you think?
