tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31472319728797311972011-04-21T13:54:12.175-07:00As it seems I do tons more pottery than anything else, this blog will be solely dedicated to my work in this area. I will try to take pics of those things I still have around home, but I don't really have a spot for good digital pictures. I probably have close to 200 pieces just around my house, many in boxes simply because I have no where to put them. I hope you enjoy viewing them.BJK_Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11057896469578827720noreply@blogger.comBlogger121100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147231972879731197.post-55344170484516913152008-06-28T16:14:00.001-07:002008-06-28T16:18:46.068-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9bB3bZ5H1h0/SGbGngeGicI/AAAAAAAAAxs/7e9IZoa3XSM/s1600-h/ThrownPierced"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9bB3bZ5H1h0/SGbGngeGicI/AAAAAAAAAxs/7e9IZoa3XSM/s320/ThrownPierced" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217075600388688322" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9bB3bZ5H1h0/SGbGtJKLjcI/AAAAAAAAAx0/uhvTuNsWxfA/s1600-h/Thrown-Pierced-from-Side.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9bB3bZ5H1h0/SGbGtJKLjcI/AAAAAAAAAx0/uhvTuNsWxfA/s320/Thrown-Pierced-from-Side.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217075697210330562" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I just ran across this bowl I did last year - forgot all about it until now.
