A New Challenge

Teapots are always challenges. They are one of the most sought after forms by potters of today, yesterday and 100's of years ago. I get intimidated by things and often stick to what I know, bowls, mugs, bowls... But I was shopping on bigceramicstore.com and found bamboo handles and had to get one. So then it came and it struck me I better make something for it to go on. So, I embarked upon making a new little teapot. Swirls and curls have been making their way more and more into my work lately and it fit right in with this little piece. So, say hello to my new teapot who is only about 5 inches tall but I absolutely adore it.



It is in the kiln right now for its first firing. Color suggestions are welcome!
