Teapot 46

Weather forecaster was predicting the bad night from the Hurricane Sandy last night, but we dodged bullets.  It was windy and raining hard, but no major damages around my neighborhood.



 

It is while sine I made the one of a kind teapot. Number 46 is done.  This one is wheel thrown and flattened by hitting with a board from both sides after trimming the foot.

A lid of this teapot was a bit tight side.  I remember Carolyn Dilcher-Stuyztold me about the valve paste mention in the Val Cushing handbook. I searched the web and found it at the Autozone.  I applied around the lid and moved around for a couple minutes.  It smooths out surprisingly well.

Frustrated

It has been three weeks since I dropped off the application for gas line to local utility company.  Nada.....  Sigh....  My plan to move before the snow is almost impossible.  Just frustrated.



I sold my minivan on Sunday, workforce for my shows over 10 years.  It was a bit small for carrying around the pottery, but it worked great.  I found 2006 Toyota minivan for replacement.  I was thinking about a cargo van, but just could not jump up just for 7-8 shows a year. This minivan is a slightly larger, so maybe I can get a new tent for the next year.  I have been eyeing the flourish tent for a year, and am ready for a new tent.
