Tea houses revisited...

Just a few pics of a project that I am revisiting.  Did these years ago...time to refine it a bit more.

 the body

 funky spout..happy accident

 handle

 with the lid/roof

 shortened the chimney

The last time I did these, I hand built EVERYTHING.  I just didn't have the patience to do it all that way...got to love what the hand builders do.....I'm really liking the spout and will try to duplicate that on purpose in future endeavors...trying to really think outside the box.

Monday night, September 19th

more antics...believe it or not, we do learn in this class...

 Denise is trying to get her sectional pots to work.

 Dr. Knapp is getting things "centered".

 Melody is creating something awesome

And I'm trying to work with some persnickety snow porcelain...not fun.

The latest on my wall

Here are a few additions to the south wall. This is day 6 of painting...note the details around Big Ben, the Zen garden with the addition of the guardian rock aka Charlie.

I love the bone at Charlie's feet...Annabelle's touch!!
