She told me she met Johnny Sens at a Ceramic Show in Mobile. She had a booth set up and he walked by and told her that one of her pieces she had made was his mold. So she talked to him for a while. She told me he went to prison for infringing on some of Sears and Roebucks copyrights. He made some copy-cat molds of some cookie jars and got busted. Then he got busted again for the same thing and went to jail on the second arrest. This was way back though. Maybe thats why his mugs look similar to Orchids. Intresting Man she said. |
