The cycle is moving along. We have about 2 more weeks of throwing before we start packing the kiln in preparation for the fall firing. There are a lot of pots on the shelves and so the next week or so will probably be dedicated to small pots to fill in the spaces and more complicated, time consuming forms like teapots. When I throw a new form it takes me about a board to get to a place where I feel comfortable with the form. It is a slow, steady, and at times maddening process.
On some non pottery related news.... My friend George and I took a trip to the beach to do a little fishing. We caught a mess of blue fish and I had a nice flounder but I dropped it back into the ocean before I could get in the frying pan. Here are a few pictures from the trip...and one of some pottery for good measure. George is a very serious fisherman.....

I'm really jealous of the fishing trip! Gerry and I used to go to the Outer Banks the last week of October every year and fish for blues. I have stood in some of the most God awful weather popping the crap out of my finger with the fishing line, not being able to keep any weight at all out there. For this agony, I once brought in two pretty good size flounder on one rig. A proud fishing moment, I will say! See ya out at Mark's soon. If ya'll need help cleaning up the pots, give me a call. I'll be happy to help out
