perfect and not so much

 Perfect...
 ...and not so perfect.
I have several great pieces of pottery in my collection.  I think all but one of was purchased in thrift stores or at garage sales.  Still my eye is drawn to imperfect and strange bits of pottery such as these three.  I'm sure some of them were art projects of junior high students, but that doesn't diminish my fascination with them.  I discovered the heart-shaped one at a thrift store last week.  It sent me digging for the other two pieces AND a place to display all of them.

  6. There is something so appealing about hand thrown pottery, like the person who made it is expressed there somehow. I think the colors of the glazes in you collection would attract me immediately.

  7. Reminds me of the words of the old hymn....

    Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
    Thou art the Potter; I am the clay.
    Mold me and make me After Thy will,
    While I am waiting, Yielded and still.

    Your pottery is beautiful!!!
