As I was looking at it MORE..View attachment 410120View attachment 410121It seems like this piece would be BETTER utilized as a dock/pier... i didn’t balance with enough positive space OUTWARDS, to be anything but a cavernous/mountain area bridge... which I guess would be pretty sweet, too!

I can see this half buried in the soil sticking up at an angle out of the moss, near some gnarly old tree.
it’s an old structure, but what was it, who’s was it, why is it here?
the mystery of the unknown is as interesting as the known.
Excellent details, I really like your work.

I really like the sort of free form one. Kind of reminds me of the first pot I bought from @penumbra. Glaze it!

Glaze it purple or deep blue and Carol will cave in. She is EASY. ;)

I feel honor to have my work given praise in the same paragraph as Penumbra’s!

You honor me my friend.
I am equally astounded by your mini structures, your creative flair and your just being you.
There are some potters here, actually all of you, that constantly amaze. We all have our thing but when I look at so much of the work shown here by our B nutters, it truly is eye candy. Someday I hope to have pots from all of you.

Local potters ALSO talk of Purple glazes..

To which I have to reply something like,

“(The only glaze I BUY is “clear”.... the rest I fabricate.. )I don’t have the right metals yet!”

Off-Topic..

but, @penumbra , have you made it out to the Oregon Country Fair, ever?

It seems like, at some point, you’d have frequented the “Festival Circuit”

I LOVE this. Are you going to sell it? Would you consider selling it bisque fired and letting me stain it to my liking? If you get it passed the bisque firing I would love to buy it from you. 😘

And truth be told.. this NEW method of construction, orders of operation and overall throwing “feel” was different.

Somewhat a collaboration of my structure work and recent texture experiments... very “free” and non-confining in a creative sense.. it lacks the “graph paper-esque preparatory phase” that my standard, clean pot throwing technique carries.. but that’s just fine..

I will be playing with this form MUCH more, as it was a very enveloping, ENTERTAINING build.

Also, Mwar.. the more I use this TL-Structural, the more I LOVE it. It takes texture SO well, and is a true treat to work with!

I’m about to use some of that Pat Horsley stuff to make some structures/“Wooden” boats.
 
His little structure stuff is really excellent. I think I may have some trees ready to come out of plastic this year that I might have a shelf of nothing but trees in Horse, Source, and Swamp pots. If I do it right they may all be native swamp trees (I might have to cheat as I have a little gumbo limbo in a Source pot that has spent its entire life there, I’m trying for 5 years in a 1/2” deep pot for the native challenge) but I can keep the dry land plants to the edges.

Thank you SO much for your kind words!

I’m actually low-key JEALOUS that you have that coop! Hahahaha!!

That one came together nicely. I remember sitting down.. eating a bowl of mini-wheats. Then looking over at andrea, “Chicken coop!” I said, spitting milk down my chin. She nodded, I got up, made the chicken coop!

...ehh.. I don’t tell stories in the right order!

🤣🤣
 
The coop is now in a cement tray that I made, with my ent tree and some mud men playing go (my favorite game) in the Halloween exhibit.
sadly we have a breeding coyote nearby, and my flock is shrinking, and this close to the solstice I’m not getting much laying.
she got my best momma hen too, so I’m not sure what the future holds for my little flock.
I am down to 8 hens and one young rooster.

F*cking ‘yotes.. I’m sorry, friend.

Mink used to get some of our younger chickens and steal eggs, too. (Back on the farm)

D’ya have those smelly runts down in the warm swamps?
