Transformer

5lb. +  3 1/2lb. + 1 3/4lb.
= 10 1/4lb
I can't face any more 'feathers' at the moment so I've put the birds aside to make some 'real' pots...8 pie dishes (that's for you, Marie N.!) and three large planters. I need to fill up that big-ass kiln!

Heavy rims and fat pots- yum- time to get some pottery made to go around all the birds- balance is such a hard word for us all.

I refer to it as "blowing out the carbon". Pots with lots of detail eventually take their toll on one's mental carburetor. When it gets that way for me, I too blow out the carbon with something I can produce faster -- and watch the landscape fly by for a while.

I'm going to blow out the carbon with some painting.

I'm going to blow out the carbon with some chili.

Oh, by the way...

The ten pounder is beautiful! Obviously some work with the birds hasn't hurt the pottery one bit. The strength of that form is wonderful.
