Buttery yellow

OK, this little guy looks great. From wet thrown, to whacked, pulled and pushed to glazed, now fired and done and ready for Oolong or Irish Breakfast. Remember, this guy is for a teapot competition. What do judges look for? One guess is clean, simple, beautifully constructed. The rest of the spots likely go to NEW and innovative. I have a flamboyant style, what with dancing pigs, or in this case: I did about everything I could think of to it. The fun part is the little crevasses and channels which this yellow glaze and the contrasting glazes turn into a tie-die effect when they melt.
Fablulous. The five entries pictured next week, before they ship out.
