Never thought I'd be so excited about something so simple. Life is sweet!

So recently I've been working on a few custom orders as well as a TON of coffee mugs (see in-progress picture). It's funny that something so simple as a coffee mug can feel more complicated than a plate or bowl...after you throw the cup part, then you have to trim the bottom, make a handle, and add a design. I've been making a few extra handles every batch because the one that looks best on a particular mug depends on the shape of the mug- curved, straight, thick, thin..and I don't choose one until I hold them together to look at the result. I'm sure after another 10 years of making these I'll be able to tell beforehand, but for now it's a fun process.
