Hi Kalia, it's nice to hear from you. I don't log on enough and don't always see the messages when I do. Thanks for the kind words. Also, I like the cups/handled pieces you're making a lot.

I also often miss questions or comments until months later. Oops.

Those handled bowls are a lot of fun to make. I've been experimenting with different ways of treating the bands (smooth, random carving, removed entirely, patterned carving, etc) and handles (one, two, random numbers, odd shapes, different textures...). They're so satisfying to hold, like little intimate and useful bits of sculpture.. I'll be teaching a class in bowls with handles and feet at John C Campbell Folk School next summer. Looking forward to that a lot.
It makes me happy that you like my work. Your good opinion means a lot to me.
