For the coffee-haulic teacher

Working on teacher gifts for my daughters 4th grade teacher.  My daughter wants me to make a big coffee mug for her because her teacher loves coffee.  If she doesn't have time for coffee at home she has my daughter go to the office and get some for her.  She tells me to make it big.  So I make what I think are over size mugs 1.5 pounds. about 6 inches tall.

She tells me "no I want them bigger".  It will be funny.  So I made bigger.  2 lbs and over 6 1/2 inches tall.  She may be disappointed after they shrink, but right now my favorite little critic is happy.   The teacher will   have plenty of energy for next years class.

My first Blog...I did it.

Hello everyone out in Blog land.  Friends and family have been suggesting I start a blog for my pottery, so here I am.  It was much easier than I thought,  we will just have to see how easy it will be to maintain.  I just started using my photo tent and am trying to learn how to use it.  I'm trying to decide if I like the black back ground or the white.  I think the black is more elegant, but the white is easier to see details.
