3 FEET???? I fear that won't fit in the kiln she has... unless you want a folded pot????

My pots are rather on the small side... I was rather thinking about something between 13-20cm or so...

Ooops, Grumps posted while I was busy measuring my pots... If you read above you may notice that depending on how things go you may get one for free...

Will I will donate a stone for the winner. If you cover the loser, I will get that pot, YeAhA

A stone sounds like a really nice prize... And regarding the pot... lets see whether people in general are intersted... after all I am not an experienced potter and don't be fooled: you WILL see my "fingerprints" though obviously I would try my best but the pots are handbuilt so they are not as even as pots which are produced in a form etc. and SHOULD they be interested and this really be the prize for the last THEN you can try VERY hard to become last...

History should tell you to make it and prep it for shipment to New Hampshire...

Hmm... it looks as if Jim has similar "ambitions"... But I think it might be better if you stop this guys. I am pretty sure Phil didn't have in mind that you should try to loose the competition.. if you continue like this Phil might think that I am trying to boycott this competition... and ban me...

Hi,

Rather than contemplating to quit smoking,
I better keep the habit and ask You for the 2nd pot; great ashtray

No, in all fairness: You made GREAT pots here, full credits to You
as well as to the one that taught You: You both seem to have done
an excellent job. I can hardly believe that this is really Your first
attempt at this.

As far as the feet go, You could allways try to sand them with a
dremel fitted with a soft stone bit.
At least You could smooth the edges with that: Apply moderate
operating speed and low hand pressure and regularly use water
to cool in between grindings.

And again, congratulations with these excellent first results.
If You're thinking of doing this on a more regular base,
You should really be thinking of creating Your own monogram stamp.

And I mean that; You never cease to amaze us, here.

(((Michel))) thank you very much for your kind words. I hadn't even thought of the dremel... I might try that. Will have to see though whether I can identify what you call the "soft stone" for that. May have to wait for the next pot to do that though as I wanted to pot a tree in that one this weekend...

P.S.: I did a bit of pottery some years ago but I must admit I didn't like what I made and with the last course I never saw how things turned out as I moved house... This is the first time that I have tried to make bonsai pots though.
