This is the year to give up pots in favour of painting. It is far too difficult to do both successfully, and I really love to paint.

Teapots
Since starting this blog I have neglected the fact that, until this year, most of my time was spent making pots... relatively successfully. That is, if the sale of everything I made is a measure of success. I did win a few decent awards, mainly for non-functional, or funky, teapots. While in Sydney I won two firsts in the Sydney Teapot Show, and since moving here have also won the 'Creative Teapot' award at the Maleny Teapot Show.
These teapots came from a complete series, over many years, of 'conversational' pots that I will soon add to this blog in my portfolio. I will need to scan some photos (when I find time) as I began this series before digital cameras.
