Replenishing

Our inventory of mugs is at an all time low. I spent the first part of this week remedying that situation. I really like making mugs. They employ all the fun parts of pottery; throwing, pulling handles, and for me, carving designs.



 Jeff took this photo of me working the other night. It gave me a good look at my new hair! I spent the last year growing out my hair color... what an awful thing to go through when your hair is long! I have slowly been having 3-4" cut off at a time to eliminate the two-tone look. Once the color was finally gone, I was left with mousy brown and gray hair. My niece Kayla is a hairstylist. While I was in NH she cut in some more layers and gave me just a few highlight to perk it up. They are subtle, and I won't have to be a slave to them.

Now back to pottery...

The mugs are done. I think I made 28. Now I am on to bowls and platters. The weather has been muggy (no pun intended!), hopefully I can dry them enough to do some trimming today.

snips and snails, and puppy dog tails...


I finally got around to completing these today and it seemed to take all day. I think I attached and removed handles three times on each oval. I am not sure I am done with the one on the banding wheel.
Tomorrow I will take another look at it and decide if it needs something else.

The other big news around here is that Jeff took the afternoon off to get his annual, spring haircut...


His hair had gotten so long that his stylist cut off enough to donate to Locks of Love! Donated hair must be 10" in length to qualify. I didn't even realize Jeff's was that long! I read on the website that gray hair won't be used for the organizations purpose (to create hairpieces for children) but will be sold to offset the organizations expenses. I liked his long ponytail but I think this shorter one really rocks!
