Call in show


Sometimes I get calls, questions, and emails. Being a famous potter (Har!) is a big responsibility, especially if you blog too.
Sally in Omaha writes: what's this thing with you and the elephants?
and Jack in Tallahassee wants to know: why is the world filled with boring bowls?

I know, Jack, I ask myself that every day, and try to do my part. Here is the before and after on a little blue bowl. Sally, the thing with elephants goes back to when I was four or five and saw 'Dumbo' on the big screen, and got seriously into Babar at home. I have worked on elephants for years, but only in 2005 made a simple little one that I really like. That's the guy up there in the middle, and 3 of them make the feet of the little bowl.
Dreaming last night: I had to help a princess choose her dress. I say go for the buttery yellow one.

I love the elephants and pigs! I collect elephant figurines and your are b-e-a-utiful! Also I have a proposition for you. In December our family is going to the Pugadazzle Ball in Minneapolis, where the pugs dress up and join you. In addition any merchant vender with pug paraphernalia can set up and sell. If you wanted to make some pug mugs and stuff we could sell them for you. I bet they would be a hit! I know you made one for Ben and me, and they wouldn't be that much different from pigs. Just an idea if you were interested!
Catch yah latter uncle!!
