Drats, I can't make the video work for some reason, it hangs up every time. But I can see from the above that I (very sadly) did not win - so congratulations to Sil and Lis!
UM, thanks Celeste, but NOT. If you watch the video, you can see we tried to be random and honest. And we were! Penny was watching! The runner up Sil is an American in Korea, and she had begged to join, saying she would pay postage, which will be HIGH, unless she has me ship it to her adult son in Maine.
This was so fun!! and I'm sooo jealous of the winners...lol Ok, what's next?? hummmmmmm... guess I'll just get my shopping list together and head on over to ETSY for some goodies. Of course I've got to wait until my shopping gene kicks in. lol Loved seeing Mrs. Pottersblog taking part in this.." Hi there...Mrs.- you did an awesome job!" Happy potting ;)
oh darn, my husband was even tuning in with me to see if we won. Congratulatons to the winners, and thank you to Mr. & Mrs. Potters blog for the fun time.
They sure know how to create drama, don't they? I guess that's the nature of the beast otherwise known as "Teenager!" Please keep us posted on the outcome.
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
