Here is a finished pot fired this weekend. Do you think I am headed in the right direction?

(huge grin)... Boonie... This is more than a right direction, this is a fabulous leap forward.
In getting to the place where you no longer felt the need to reproduce what you have seen, you are stepping outside of craft and into art.... because in finding your own way, you will find your unique expression within your creations.
Huzza!!! I am so terribly proud of you my friend. What a beautiful pot you have made. It's elegance is in it's simplicity. Very well done indeed...
Your friend always,
