Hi G...thanks for stopping by and for your compliments...beautiful works really well for me! :) Thanks! The imperfections...I don't know if they're fractures really...they are pretty small...they just make sort of a slight difference in the look of the stone in the really thin edge partsthere...maybe I'm just worrying to much. I got the lashing from Steve and doing some research on sailors knots and joining rope....I have seen some beautiful intricate lashing on Polynesian work, but it's not easy to find how to information. It is a wonderful decorative/utilitarian element. I wish I knew more about it. I didn't use to much lashing making pots...defective stuff went into the landfill I now have in my back yard where all the shards live.

Hi Babalu. Thanks for the Wow...that too is a great compliment coming from another artist. Never worked this small before...I have to use 5X optivisors! It is a little insane. I have always liked to make detailed stuff, but this is a push...hope I can pull it off. I'm always happy meet other clay people too! Kindred spirits.

Thanks again you guys.
