Pretend art and other things celebrating my weirdness, I mean uniqueness

The rest
Made up the symbol on this mug just to practice this technique. It doesn't mean anything. Did this during the Christmas break as well.
Tried a combination of three glazes on these last two, and was so happy how they turned out I brought the goblet to church and showed my friends..I'm such a dork.

regarding the pretend artist comment: it's the "real" artists who rely on others to see them as "real" artists who are the pretend artists. they create their identity to feed their ego instead of letting their identity create.
i like the goblet. i didn't get to see it in person, though :)
I was thinking about creating a Christian artists gallery where those of us who don't see ourselves as "real" artists can be the "real" artists that we really are but don't see ouselves as.
I love the pottery, too -- it's just the sort of thing I find myself buying at art/craft shows!
I'm not sure I understand teason's comment. Does it mean that people who create "art" in order to be admired by others aren't really artists? (Like what Jesus said about praying in public 'to be seen by men'?) Sorry to be dense.
Kim, I'm Hannah's friend. Found you through her blog. I love the goblet. If you ever do something similar with some Celtic christian symbols on it, and perhaps a simple platter to match, i'd be interested in buying them from you for our own eucharistic celebrations.
A really good pot is in the details. --Doug Casebeer at the Ceramics Workshop in Jamaica '10
There's only one way to grow while making art: take risks and allow yourself to make a lot of bad work, then look at it. I consider what is working well, what missed the mark or confused the reading, what needs to be adjusted on the next one. --Linda Arbuckle in The Penland Book of Ceramics
All great actions have been simple, and all great pictures are. --Ralph Waldo Emerson
Almost all photos are my property (even the bad ones). Please ask if you would like to copy them. Don't think anyone would, but just in case please ask. Thanks!
