    Thanks all!

    Flatbed- that actually does make sense, and I appreciate the comment. I don't think that art has to have overly obvious imagery or highly charged motifs in order to be expressive. Simplicity, warmth, contrast, and natural flow are ideas in themselves.

    You know, I have actually had the great luxury of seeing and touching the fantastic work of the "pantless one" and can say, without reservation, that pics do them no justice.

    Top notch AP, top notch.

    With one of his works of art currently perched on my wood stove, I have to agree, that pictures do not bring out the feel and life of the item. It is almost like you can "feel" the pottery without touching it. The warmth, the depth.... I know little of the arts, but this stuff gives me a warm and fuzzy.

    I thought for a second that you were gonna say "in touch with my feminine side", cuz I got news. If I had a feminine side, I would be in touch with it all the time. %-P

    could be the bottom of Jags' feminine side? I've never seen it, so I dunno what it looks like....but from what I hear, it looks good in yoga pants.

    Whats "yoga"? Isn't that the pudding stuff that tricks you into thinking it will be sweet, until your face puckers inside out?

    that sounds like an excellent product idea my friend.....we should co-ordinate with AP to get some ceramic packaging for this "yoga"...maybe offer it in random and various flavors....like clam,tobacco, and jerk chicken. Maybe put chunks of real clam,tobacco,and jerk chicken in the bottom.

    Or the holy grail - jellybeans?

    (we probably better get back to the pottery or we will spill to many secrets of this new product)

    Some customers that come to most of our shows and have become friends have 2 chihuahuas. One of them (Frankie) eats too fast and makes himself sick, so I made that ring-shaped bowl to put his food in. It will slow him down to have to pick it out of the ring like that.

    I can make them in people size if anyone needs.

    Thanks for the kind words (but not all of the imagery... yoga pants?)
