Ah ha! This post really hits the mark, Meticky! Clayarters have polished
my teapot-inspiration bones to a fare-the-well the past few days, for
which I am appreciative. Now your post .... and another sent by claybud
Laura the Poet who lives with the buzzards and eagles in South Dakota
.... have completed the task. Your post is full of tips that are exactly
what I needed to hear. Learning/balance/aesthetic sense/function
are ALL of equal importance to me. I think this time I'll stick with
it....... with a little extruder work interspersed here and there.
Thank you ... Tony's right..... you ARE "Meticulously Loose" ... your
post is a definition of that descriptive label assigned to you by our
wordsmith......

this cooler, less windy, gorgeous day ...... will take water..... can be
lifethreatening without it ... will look for tortoise holes and
hummingbird nests........
