Cute kid and the pose in the first one is priceless. Tough to get good shots of kids when they know the camera is on them but that one is well done.

Newt and Mr Wiggly, great photos, would be good to see them in 'Members Photographs' but I suppose this thread gets much more traffic.

 

 

Newt, in that first photo, that thing in his hand looks like it was used to make the inside of the pot a perfect shape?! Is that right? I thought the whole skill of pottery was in getting 'near perfect' shapes by hand!

 

And Mr Wiggly, what a gorgeous child and she obviously loves the camera. I have 3 grandchildren but little Angel, who is 3, does not know how to smile naturally for the camera. It's her parents fault for yelling at her to 'smile nicely' every time, well how is she supposed to know what that means, it immediately makes it a fake smile. So we try and capture her unawares but I still think the best shots are the posed ones.

Unfortunate timing on my part taking the picture. The object in his hand is a sponge he had just used to soak up some excess water from the inside of the piece and it had retained that shape.

 

He did all the shaping with his fingers and hands except for some use of a piece of flat plastic to scrape off some excess clay to thin the sides a little.

 

The picture was taken about the middle of the process and the piece became a pitcher when he did some final shiping of the top lip. He planned to add a handle in a few hours when the main body has dried out a bit.

Guys does look an awful lot like Newt - beard, mustache, balding and holding a pig.

 

BUT, my dog is a red dachshund and I never wear yellow (except when I'm jaundiced).

So, it could be Newt but not you Jan...............I think you could be in trouble there Newt.

 

Some questions to be answered?

[poledark]
