I have to admit, I am trying to think how to fashion a 6 inch platform as I write, (I hadn't realised Nx was such a short a"£ - I mean only 5ft 6 tall, she seems some how taller).Alan from Argyll Potteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15264702626939779118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755270725023591726.post-14314813040383782252008-08-14T10:33:00.000-07:002008-08-14T10:33:00.000-07:00That's true Alan, very good point made there.

Your pottery shows such a high level of skill and craftmanship. Colleen - Canadaladyofclayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14575523207324171504noreply@blogger.com
