I'm a mug (<- and that is a pun)

Pottery has finished for Christmas and suddenly I've realised how many mugs I've made . . . a lot of mugs, eleven in total. Also, a lot of really rubbish mugs.

My French tablecloth (Putting all the textiles out, to make the place feel warmer)

My mug - the handle is very comfortable

Slightly blurred bubble mug.

Suave teacup shape. Fancy.

Possibly the worst mug ever.

Schweiker's mug.

Jack's mug.
When it comes to learning a new skill I find there are a few stages: I find I'm quite good at first (beginners luck, Jack's was the first I made), then it turns out I'm actually a bit rubbish and I can't get the hang of it, then I get all peevish and do really rubbish things on purpose (Ha!). Only after these stages can I knuckle down and actually get on with trying to learn things without feeling all self-conscious or resentful.

  5. The worst is my favourite too, it's the furry effect I love, slightly hedgehog-ish!

  6. I love them all, there's really no need to put your work down so. The group photo could be an 'installation challenging our perceptions of mug'! see I've got all the jargon.

  7. Ha! I feel very encouraged, thank you. Maybe there'll be more mugs in the house soon. Challenging our perceptions of mug.
