We have the first mug in three colors. How about this one in three colors so I could have a set of 6??? Wendy

I would love to do them in sets of colors, but this being my first hand made mug I don't think I'll be making that many. BeachBumz would like me to make enough so he could sell some out of his shop, but I'm going to limit this mug to 10 artist proofs (to find a glaze I like best) and 25 Limited Edition mugs. I will give one to Gecko to customize and may try a couple customs myself, but that's it for this design.

I just finished cleaning up the last of the 10 artist proofs and it took my entire Christmas/New Years break. Yes I'm still learning so it's slow going and I'm busy with my real job and family. I think I'd rather move on to a new design than try to make sets of three of this design. Wendy, I'm sure you know the time that goes into making each mug, let alone the time it took to sculpt it and make the mould.

I'm hoping to start the firing process this week, but I'm at the mercy of teacher and my job. He had told me we would could start a few days ago, but then he got busy at the gallery. I'll post photos as soon as I get some out of the kiln.

Thanks for the positive comments!
