I had to do it. Now I need to make a pot to go with this unicorn head and torso. At least it's cheerful.

omigawd, I live with someone who made a unicorn!!!!!!!! Luckily it looks as much like the one in the painting as I resemble the rider. Guess we'll have to see how it turns out. Mrs.
Magic fairy dust. Ri-i-ight. I'll try that one on the cops next time. And haven't we all been tempted on occasion to strip off half our clothes and ride a unicorn? Happens to me at least once a week.
The worst part of it is, cm is the one who INTRODUCED celeste to us. And I thought cm was so level headed.... both of you are goofballs, that's it. And celeste, try making a blog, huh? Would be most entertaining.
As my old pal Gordo says:
"You want plain, old pots or plates? Go see the other guys. You want whimsy and creativity? Gary's the man!"

my pots are lead-free, microwaveable and dishwasher safe, just don't drop them!
Mary Lee got her pots and says: "Love 'em both......I'm also much relieved to find that both pieces are useable in any of the traditional manners, micro, dishwasher, etc., something I'd wondered about.
I'm truly delighted ....the glaze is so very much nicer in person. Photos do not do it justice, alas! "
Gary Rith is a full-time studio potter and also an instructor of pottery at Cornell University's Pot Shop.
Gary started learning pottery in 1983. In 1985 he served as an apprentice to Dean White of Deansboro, NY and earned a bachelor's degree in art from Bennington College in 1987. He has been a full-time sculptor and potter since 1997. Gary started his business in New Hamspshire, where he was selected as a member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen in 2004 and in 2005 was named one of New Hampshire's Emerging Ceramics Artists. He moved to the Ithaca, NY area in 2006, near where he grew up, and is happily making pots and sculpture in a purple house on Fall Creek. Gary likes to laugh, and his first goal is to have fun making pots.

From Quebec, Mags gets excited:
GUESS WHAT? My pots arrived! Oh my GOD! They are beautiful and you are soooooooooo sweet
another happy pig lover wrote:
Thank you so much for the prompt delivery...... I LOVE it!!! This day has been very stressful, and your package certainly brightened it. :-) (Sometimes all ya need is a couple of pigs!)
These will be favorites.
Thanks again, M.P.
When Mona opened up her box of pots she said:
I went all gooshy 'cause they're absolutely amazing! The pigs are gosh-darned cute, and the glaze-work is gorgeous! I can't keep my hands off them! Seriously! I keep finding excuses to walk by them .....
Lucia has something to say:
Gary -
You're awesome.
The vase is beautiful!! It's even more lovely than it looked in the photo. And the surprise, I laughed so loud at its cuteness that a co-worker came in and asked what was so funny. Thank you so much! I felt just like it was Christmas here in the office this morning, and I'm smiling. Wooooohooo!!! You're excellent.
--Lucia
E.S. sez:
The package made it in excellent condition! I absolutely loved them. I almost couldn't part with the pig mug, but I gave it to my coworker for her birthday who is in love with pigs.
and more happy customers say:
"Gary, my pots arrived! They're beautiful just as I expected
I just wanted to thank you ever so much...adorable." Maggie

Mrs.
Oh sweetie, you're MUCH prettier than the tart on the unicorn....
you're weak. but -
sometimes surrendering to an urge is for the highest good.
BTW, there is nothing anonymous about anonymous.
Yeah, why does she she do that anonymous thing, we KNOW it is she.
Well. Is it out of your system, now? If you're going to go off on a unicorn jag, you might drive away sensible folks.
um, no, I just have to do it, and Little Miss Unicorn pictured here is inspiring MORE MORE MORE!
He looks a little stoned.
Magic fairy dust, celeste, and I wonder why that woman stripped off half her clothes and went riding on a unicorn?

Pandora's box. You put up a picture or two of unicorns and all the nuts come out of the woodwork.
That'll teach you.
You know celeste, cm was saying the other day that you're just like a unicorn, NOBODY'S EVER SEEN YOU! Maybe you don't exist?
I told cm that we had seen you, but she wasn't believing it.
So if I order an amoeba candy dish will you do it? Amoeba are way cooler than unicorns.
He made me two starfish toothbrush holders ...
I would guess that dropping a small ball of clay onto a candy dish would make it an amoeba candy dish, and I need to make MORE starfish.
cm's a bit of a skeptic.
The worst part of it is, cm is the one who INTRODUCED celeste to us. And I thought cm was so level headed....

God I'm easily persuaded. Expect at most a weekly post. After all, I'm a very busy woman.
