Wrapping up this morning trimming and paddling. Some highlights...

I've been making bottles lately, lots of bottles. I usually make them in batches of 15 to 20 just splitting up some of my clay into 1 to 3 lb chunks and then just go forward. I've started to land on a particular bottle form not in size, but in the describable shape it takes. #pottery #bottle

Finally got all 7 large pots from the beginning of this week trimmed. I got sidelined today when I found two water leaks under my home. We have an artesian well, the tank from which only holds 1000 gallons. Bye bye 900 gallons of water. Gotta be careful for a while now.

Trimmed and paddled stamped tall jar, 5 more to go. It's morning, music is good, and the kiln is on. #pottery #bottle #jar
