A new ‘flowerpot’ – ferdinand the bull
Well, im working on another “flowerpot”. The first was 15″ the second is going to be even bigger! Im using a combination of pinch pot and coil pot, techniques you probably learned in elementary school. I dont know if pot #2 is a cow or horse goat or sheep, but whatever it is, building it is like dancing with a drunk.
not a very sophisticated support system. Here in rural Kentucky, we learn to get by with what we have!
