unless you hold david's mugs, you will not
know how nice they are:
he adds extruded feet, handles etc to well designed
pots.
they fit together. that is for sure.
it is the dopey extrusion, slapped on a poorly thrown
mug that looks like crap. no sense of design.

anyone with good planning and well executed design
can combine any forms of ceramic process.
it is all in good design.
it is almost never the process, but the design and function.

and bonnie, send me pix, i will put them on the clayart web page.
god, we love bears. well, sort of...well from a distance, well
a long distance...like across a river with them going the other way.
and me, going the other way...fast, on my atv.

great story.
you all know my blind cousin jim...married to who he thinks is
Marilyn Monroe. (always use caps when talking about Marilyn.)
he heard a noise on his deck, crashing...he went out the door
with a broom...he smacked into something...hit it hard with
the broom. it took off.
sharon came running to see the black bear run through the trees.
don't mess with blind jim. god, i love that boy.

but, i won't mess with miss lili. she would smack this goy
with an old metal frying pan.
love miss lily. mozil tof.

Too bad old Arctodus simus ( aka: 'Giant Short Faced Bear' ) is
extinct...he'd have been a really good 'Porch Crasher'...


As high at the shoulder as an average man is tall, and well over a Ton.


I recon I'd whoop up a Plate of Sardines and Saltines to make friends with
one if they were still around...( and...have a Broom handy if things were t=
o
slide sidways...too...Lol...)


But oh well...

I was 11 years old when a bear came into my tent. It was
during a camping trip in Alaska with my father and brother.
We woke up in the morning to find flour spilled inside the
tent. The flour covered my brother's sleeping bag. I
followed the bear tracks outside and found an unopened can
of coffee that it had dropped.
