    Thanks for the positive feedback folks. IL is right on target.
    This was shared by our pottery group yesterday. It's a 5 minute skit from SNL about pottery. I laughed so hard I cried!

    A lot of truth - that's what makes it so funny!

    Here are a couple of my recent class projects.
    The mushroom was supposed to be a footed fruit bowl, but then it seemed to want to be a mushroom, but the stem was too thick, so it decided to be a fairy house for the garden. I also dropped it on its head during construction, so I was pretty amazed to end up with something that I actually liked at the end. I had been kinda thinking it was cursed.
    The owl was supposed to be a bunny - epic fail - which was looking like a large potato and nothing at all like a bunny. Determined to have something to show for my efforts, I hit on the idea of an owl as something accessible for the non-sculpturally inclined.
    The next two months with be a class dedicated solely to sculpture, so this should be interesting!

    rosa, I'd call that a magnificent set of "saves". Art evolves into itself sometimes.

    I agree with nswef. I like the owl!

    I haven't shared any pottery pictures for awhile, so here goes. The heads were made in the sculpture class, and they were a lot of fun. I think I will make more. I love making things that can be used as planters or are plant related. The ornaments were made specifically for selling at these local fairs. Our town is locally famous for its "Route One kitsch," so these are a nod to some of the more iconic images. I hope they will be popular, since I personally have no use for 49 orange dinosaur ornaments! We are also working on some town-themed mugs, and I have some more townie ornament ideas for next year if these go over well.

    All so cute! Love the faces! Just a question... I didn't see any holes to run string to hang the ornaments. Are they not those types of ornaments? Or used some other way?
    (While the dinosaurs are cute, I like the cactus. LOL)
