Teapot Super Bowl



















(pots by Gary Rith)
I have been thinking about this for days. I am entering a teapot competition in Chicago ("bright and fun teapots encouraged!") this month and I have been rejected twice before. I think these are wicked good entries, and I have a good chance. I wanted to put something wild and dynamic out there. I need to re-photograph these.
Their prices, of course, will be tripled if they win.

    "Award-winning" pottery SHOULD be more expensive. ;-)

    I win a spot in an exhibit, that's all! Maybe bragging rights too? Costs me 25 bucks to enter.

    That would be a hard call. The zebra teapot is fabulous - the zebra on top is I think one of the best animals you've done. But I reaaaally like that red glaze too.

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

    I love, love, love the red one! The zebra is fantastic, too, but the doggy is just extra-special.

    YAY! So nice to know a winner (oh, wait, am I counting the chickens before the eggs? Well, you know, I'm all about the positive)!

    Will it Gary! This one's yours.

    :-) Happy Monday!

    Well, I'd say you're tied for first place - with yourself! A double winner!
