well im writing this before i pack up and head back to the Backus Muesum to throw pots on Saturday.. I did quite well last weekend so I don't expect anything this weekend,,, the pottery gods have deemed that you can't have 2 good weekends in a row,, if i have a dull weekend i will enter the Backus painting raffle,, as that would make up for freezing outside again,, [those crazy gods might take piy on me!]

the picture is of my lateset piece to emerge from the fire,, its a 2 foot tall Seminole indian maiden,, i guess you could call her a cookie jar, as the top half is removable,, heres the cool part,, if you turn her around she has  another face and shes holding and alligator w/ an alligator in her hair and gators painted on her skirts,, its all quite grand and definitly falls into the ''never saw that before'' catogory,, im most very proud of it and can't wait to show it off!! proud papa

of and i forgot ,, last weekend set a new record of the dumbest question ever asked of me,, throwing pots in public yeilds a lot of conversations, some interesting as hell and some sorta ''special ed'' 
up till last weekend the dumbest question was by a lady who stood there and watched me make a pot and then asked
 ''Are you making ice cream?'' 
i know
last weekednd a man was watching me and asked
''are you a rodeo clown?''
i know,, and that one kinda stung
i guess with all the cowboys around he thought he was at the rodeo and i looked like a clown,,,
ok i gotta get going,, i hope its warmer down south
