These tumblers and mugs were some really nice ones from my last soda firing in October. The tumblers especially have some really interesting flashing marks from the soda and the way they were stacked in the kiln. I have been throwing this same form for a few years and it is amazing to look back at some old forms of these to see how they have progressed. The flow and curve of the form sometimes is hard to get "just right" and I think these show what I am looking for. A new detail I changed this year was making the green carved areas be a curved panel rather than a straight fenced in line. I think this gives more movement to the form, which is carried through with the gesture of the carved patterns.

Looks just like the JT mug I used this morning! Love the mug we got from you this year. Happy New Year Joy!
I like the tumblers. They sem to be a nice fit for the hand. I don't like handles on large mugs . The curves have a natural energy flow. Beautiful work.These would sell easy in Idaho.
