I think only potters can get excited by up close pictures of rough 'mud'. It's great to use clay with such character.<BR/><BR/>Carla mentioned to me when she was processing the clay for the mandala that she was amazed by the colors of the clays that came in. Beyond the usual reds, buffs, greys and oranges, she had purple, green and 'hot pink'!<BR/><BR/>RusselRussel Foutshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17697457958871252931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709786391671578715.post-25657066078747075642008-11-02T16:58:00.000+00:002008-11-02T16:58:00.000+00:00Doug, I just came out of my workshop happy with my...Doug, I just came out of my workshop happy with my days work on my jugs, then I've just seen these and realise I've still a long way to go.Paul Jessophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049186132665105757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709786391671578715.post-25548367178316920472008-11-02T16:33:00.000+00:002008-11-02T16:33:00.000+00:00Hey,those lines give the slip and glaze some thing...Hey,<BR/>those lines give the slip and glaze some thing to play over as do the rough bits in the clay body.

I sometimes think it is crazy that I have made connections all over the world because of the mud. Doug, you have some really awesome mud at hollyford. I am proud to say I have seen it, and dug some myself. I really like the leaf pots. Keep up the good work!Brad Lailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426996902928151900noreply@blogger.com
