I had a commision once for Christmas ornaments.

I make everything "hand made" from a slab that I toll in my slab roller
then bend and shape and add on etc.

I did make a pattern for the initial cut so as to make them similar
although the 80 of them were all indivdual.

The point is: the person who commisioned it wanted me to number them 1-80
to give them more autheticity ( I did explain that these are hand made
individually but to no avail) so I did stamp Nos. on the bottom.

The moral of the story, on off is not always best :).

Mayssan, doing more sewing these days than potting.. God I miss my studio.
soon I will be back.
