I put up a photo with one of my "wide and low" type "mug cups" (as they
call them here in Japan.) Has my new shino type glaze on it:

Carol: I luv that kid but you can keep her. it was Kelly that gave the butt
crack it's name. I plead innocence once again.
There is a way you could have your own mug- I ship. I am doing some sexy
ones now influenced by beer barrels, woodfired in an ash glaze. If I put the
rings around the barrel and whack it with the file there is an interesting
gesture.
I apologize to those of you that have visited our website and seen the same
work for 5 years. Sheila is going to make a new one for us. The other one
was too complicated and my step son Sean is too busy with his own
construction company to redo it.
I will post the new beer barrel cups in about 2 weeks when we woodfire
again.

Had a psychiatrist in the other day and told him that was a butt crack on
the cup he was buying. he said I guess I won't drink with it facing me. I
see enough of them at the office.

For those who are interested take a few minutes to look at a coupla of the butt pieces I've posted on Yahoo (don't have a web site yet.) THe pots are just a few of my pots. Let me know what you all think......
