(pots and pencils by Gary Rith)
NO, not every pot I make has a pig on it and people who have ordered from me usually find a gift in there, like one of these pencils.

I still think those pigs look strangely serene for having had a pencile jammed up their ... ;-)
Gord!
I want to order two piggy banks. How do I do that?
have you ever considered doing those same little animals on corks for wine bottles? That would be AWESOME. I would take 8 of them please. Any animal will do. I just think the corked bottle of wine that takes me two nights (or three or 10) would look way cuter with your litle guys on top.
Good thinking, Newt. Why get a "finish it up" complex when you can open the fridge multiple nights and have a petite pig smiling up at you?
And Gord, please remember, this is a family-friendly blog. Those pigs could have chosen pencil tops as seats.
I almost spit my drink out at Gordo's comment! :) and - that's a great idea that Newt has, don't ya think???
I like those mugs!
Hi again, Gary! I hope by now you have at least one of the two emails I sent today - if not, they are obviously going into yahoo spam. I also have a yahoo account, and their spam filter is wonderful, but the problem is, yahoo gets LOTS of spam - which is why I have decided to go with gmail. Gmail is easier to search. Anyway, if you didn't get my emails, do a search in your spam box - if you can - and search on "Chatty". If yahoo is just destroying all your spam mail automatically, I don't know what to do about that...HEY! I just LOVE those little piggy and elephant pencil toppers - I want some! Although I have to agree with Gordo that they look quite happy, considering their situation ; )
PS - Newt is a genius! I would also order a bunch!
yup, I want wine-corker-porkers too! LOL.
Adorable as usual!
