I've been neglecting my blog for waaayy too long. Somehow life just seems to get in the way! I've been pretty busy in my shop making things. I never remember to take pictures but did this time.
This is hand built project of a 3 tube utensil holder/organizer. I had one in my Etsy shop and it sold so naturally that means I have make another one! This will have to dry about 2 weeks before it goes in the kiln the first time. But it's warm here now so drying shouldn't be a problem. Actually, I will leave it covered for a few days to keep it from drying too fast which can lead to cracking.

| 3 slabs were rolled out with the slab roller and wrapped around the cardboard tubes that my rolls of bubble wrap come on. They are the perfect size. And I hate to throw them away. |
 |
| This is the next day with the tubes removed. |
 |
| This shows the stamped designs and the bottom added. All one piece for the bottom and that ties the tubes together. |

I hope to be back posting more this year. Sometimes it feels like there are just too many options for on line presence. Do I post to facebook, flicker, twitter? I don't want to be obnoxious. But I'll try to post when something is interesting. And, hopefully, I'll get the finished pieces posted here so you can see how they turned out.
