I do like making jugs, they can have a great deal of character, often human or bird-like. Years ago I bought a small oil bottle by Mirek Smisek, and it has the alert watchfulness of a little sparrow as it sits up there on my shelf.<br /><br />Commissions almost always are difficult to some degree as they usually involve making something "one off"... and so much of potting depends on making a series of objects in order to iron out technical challenges and become proficient at making them. When I was "in my prime" I enjoyed doing them, as I always learned a lot along the way, but now that the body has decided that it is past its "best by", I find I keep falling behind with things... 3 days, becomes 3 weeks, etc... Frustrating, but it is something one has to adapt to.<br /><br />Best Wishes,<br />Peter<br />Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-68106988103676625132021-04-05T15:24:26.298+12:002021-04-05T15:24:26.298+12:00Oops your boat then best to say no.

Commissions are often difficult so I don't blame you for pulling back. People can be quite pushy so unless it's something that floacharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17702829356602867482noreply@blogger.com
