I'm slippin'

These pics pretty well sum up the week I've had. My timeing has been off all week. Slip them when they are too dry and the surface has dozens of blisters or air pockets. Slip them to wet and the handles fall off taking half the pot. So getting the pot and the handle to be just right is my current mission. If my resume wasn't covered in 30 years of mud I'd like to apply to be a postman.
Another group of cups is waiting for me to kill them this morning. They are under plastic resting while our kiln is firing in the studio on this 37 degree day. Talk about a hot house.
