And Buster Helped!

Been making some mugs lately but haven't felt like doing handles. So I wrapped them and left them for handles another day.

Well, I left them on the shelf right next to my wheel. Someone rather likes to hang out on that shelf. I'll let you guess who.

You'd think he'd be kind enough to sleep in the bed provided or on a different shelf while this one was occupied, but no, he's Buster so he's Boss.  His butt is gonna park where he wants it to park.  Guess what it parked on?

Lovely isn't it?

Yeah, not so much.

Added a handle and will fire it anyway.  Hope somebody enjoys a mug blessed by Busters Butt!

 

When Pigs Fly

Not a whole lot to say about pottery today.  Unfortunately, I don't have the brain power for much of anything.  That's because my husband I both have.....swine flu.  No, I'm not kidding. 

We're fine.  We're generally healthy people and we aren't in any of the danger groups.  We caught it right away and started meds immediately.  But I still can't believe I had to call in sick due to swine flu.  Tell me, how many employers are actually gonna believe that one?  But it's true.  We're quarantined for at least a few more days.

So until my brain approaches something close to working, here are some pics of Buster to tide you over.

This was a rousing game of "are you coming in or staying out?"

This is why I'm picking cat hair out of all of my clay.  Shortly after this, he took a nap with his butt right up against the freshly made handles.  Oh well, it burns out in the kiln.
