But, sadly, it is still winter.
I was reminded the other day that winter runs until mid-late March.
Sigh, really?
I really enjoyed those warm days.
But in honor of winter still hanging around and breathing down my neck and tickling my toes and nose, I made chowder bowls today.
These bowls are great for a nice bowl of soup, stew, pasta or my favorite, a big summer salad!
While I was filling up my cart with bowls, I made smaller ones as well.
Mark was making mugs, oil lamps, pitchers and one big bowl.
Show off.....

Dang, I made one coil pot! I love the shape of that bowl though. Gotta get me one of those! Oh, and it looks like I'm following Ang around on the blogger comments:)
Talk about spring! We actually had hail and a tornado touch down and cause damage east of Dallas. Not ready to break out the sandals and shorts here in Texas because that means 100 degree temps are right around the corner!lol
60 plus????? We think 32 is warm these days. Some gorgeous pottery there :)
I LOVE the large bowl! I'm dreaming of a bright and lovely summer salad...mmmm... I'll just go out to the garden and pick some fresh greens -oh wait we're still in the deep, dark, snowy arms of winter too. Oh well, at least it is a balmy 20 degrees ABOVE today ;o)
Good looking pots. That fish stew looks pretty tasty.
love to see the work piling up... we didn't get the warm weather they told us we would get but supposed to be 59 tomorrow... we'll see
Beautiful big bowl and all that work stacked up on the shelves looks great. I went out for lunch and had a salad in a big bowl with fresh cilantro in it; I better get cracking on more work.
I wish it was Spring, too! The bowls are lovely - maybe I'll have soup for lunch (since there aren't any fresh greens right now).
