Bunnies

While I was in the jury box I spent a lot of time drawing in our provided notebooks. I did this mainly to calm my nerves while the testimony was taking place. I did however work on some decorations that I thought might be nice. One of the items I kept coming back to was a little bunny. Unfortunately after the trial was done they took our notebooks and shredded them. I tried to draw the bunny today on one of the mugs:

It kind of looks like a cross between a bunny and a turtle... hmmm. I think I like it though. I really like pots with what I would consider a classic beauty. Quiet, serene, and stately. Something like this. This is something I strive for in the majority of my pots. However I also like pots that are both "good pots" and make me laugh. I can't say whether or not this is a good pot, but it defiantly makes me chuckle. I think that's what attracts me so much to Ron Philbeck's pottery: they are well made, they stand up well as functional pots, yet you can't help but smile when you see them.
