blowing up another bottle, the sequel

Fiddling around in the studio, you know, and I was like "I could video myself squaring off a piece using Ron's 'whack it with a board when wet' method, but he did that demo really well", so I am in the mood to make bottles and so I DO, and here is the movie, although it cut out just before I finished the rim. :)

  1. Beautiful bottle! Love the videos -- especially the cliff-hanger endings!!! ;-) Miri

  2. That was really interesting. And I fully intended on making a dirty joke about the whole thing, but after seeing your talent with pottery, I just can't bring myself to such sacrilige.

  3. I can't believe I just saw that. You really did blow it up like a balloon... I'll have to try. :)

  4. Oh that was *so* interesting to see -- honestly, I was watching in ultra-concentration. And if I may say, the bottle would make a fantastic lamp base.

  5. Your pottery is amazing. We get a smile on our face every time we pull out the penguin bowl.

    I also like the lighting on the photos of your pottery. Do you use natural light, external lamps, or flashes?
