( Lots some images in the download) Anyways......what I have done here from the last set of box photo's is squared off the sides , cut through the closed form and cut feet on the bottom half. This evening I will be adding a lip on the inside of the box and then the decorating part will begin. A year or so ago I made these into little houses. I'd like to sort of do that again but I guess I feel like I need to be careful not to make them to representational or contrived. I think that is hard to do for me. Some people do it really well but I seem to always teeter on that edge or to girly but not girly enough. ( It that makes sense!) Isn't it funny how we are always our worse critic! I also want to use the terra sig a bit more on these.Check back for updates!
Here is Charlotte this weekend is the big Annual Potters Invitational , at the Mint Museum. Boy I would love to be in this show but I'm not a NC potter and I'm not sure I COULD get in. Anyways, I'll be running around to birthday parties, enjoying having my husband home ( since he's been away this week) and working on my own pots this weekend. If you are from this area and want something fun to do...go check this show out!

mmmmm, tasty little boxes alright!
I have the hardest time with lids this is something I want to work on. Your's are so smooth and perfect looking.
Jen: I think you are definitely worthy of the Mint show. Your large bowl at CM sold this week, people are loving your work in Durham!
i love the house shaped boxes so much! really beautiful, the way the lids round out, they almost verge on castle like (middle eastern?). at least for me they do.
