bootylicious



OKAY, br, made a bigger boot mug, but I think it may not be big enough for that pint of stout with head, so let's go a size or two bigger today.
Mags, the moose look a little spotty. I need to improve the brown this week.

Bigger scale benefit? Better balanced beer boots.

Boots big enough for bodacious beers.

I think that moose colour you have thre is called "brindle". It's mot exactly moosey, but I kinda like it.

Can we call you a potter-cobbler, now? ;-)

I just don't like brown pots, usually, with exceptions like my friend Jeff Brown's brown pots and of course the brown Betty teapot, but if you don't do something often, it can hit a few snags?

gr, well as snags go its not so bad.

with your secret celedon and lovely blue, i can see where brown just isnt a priority often.

Big boots bear bonny brews - bigger boots bear bounty

ok maybe that was too much.

now if you just knock the toe off, you'd have a great mug. (I really don't get this boot thing) The moose colour is perfect. Like different shades as the sun glances off the animal as it wades the marsh in the early morning sun.

Good lord you people are hard to please. My wife said 'that's just awful' when she saw the boots, but I didn't want to make them to begin with!
br, my friend, making plain mugs here this afternoon. I want you to be happy.
Mags, thanks for not being as demanding as all these other people.

Really, Gary. What do you expect: you throw out this mug that you didn't want to make and then ask a bunch of whackos for opinions. I'd give you a close-up picture that I took of a cow moose on a canoe trip in 1987, but it's in black and white and that wouldn't help for colour.

Who says art has to be realistic? You're not exactly a realist, you know.
