CURVE



(pottery by Gary Rith)

OK, so Tink has the weekly photo challenge, curve and found. She also emailed me this week about my elephant teapots, seen here freshly made at the top. He has, of course, a nicely curved belly. These 2 mugs just popped out of the kiln, and I am very excited about them. It is a new idea. They are work intensive, with many dents and divots defining the curves, but heck, there are so many ordinary mugs in this world, why not....

since john mccann has captured the elephant party nomination, you should do a limited edition mccann elephant.

Some curves take a little getting used to, but once you do...
