Ariel's Garden

Pretty pleased with this teapot. It just sort of happened. I had no plan when i started...not feeling too good and wasnt looking forward to this teapot. But, it turned out sweet. I was pulling a handle off the side of the pot and it ripped off, leaving a little stub. So, i looped it into a circle. This inspired the front loop. So i had two loops and it looked really silly...but...wait....haha those loops would make great platforms for an overhead handle! And tada...i just went crazy decorating, adding loops and coils. Then i thought id draw loops on the side, but they looked like sea anemones instead. Haha so, ya i like it because i love anything underwater/mermaid related. Im not going to glaze the whole thing, to emphasize texture! Super duper excited! No to sleep and feel better :)

10 mins late...

This teapot was done on Friday...but I only now posting it. All snuggled up and ready fir bed...then...wham! Ahhh forgot to upload pics! Grrrrrrr...hate that. Anyway, this teapot is simple elegance. Smooth with soft curves. I think it is refreshing in contrast to my recent ones.

Touchy teapot

I am in love with this shape and texture! I love to put my hands around it and feel the little pokes :).  You just wanna touch it when you look at it...right?  The spout is cute and little and the handle complements the shape nicely. The line down the handle repeats the line around the body.  I love how round and circular the body is....sometimes its hard to get the top part of the body to be round and full, its hard to explain, but its hard to make the top as round as the bottom. Usually, for me, the top half always ends up looking less inflated.  But the lids is really nice too. Perhaps my favorite part of this piece is the fact that the weight of the piece is appropriate.  When I say this I mean, its not heavier or lighter than expected...I just think the trimming and everything really came together here!
