August 14 - Tuesday pods and leafy handles

I started making some more pods to be raku-fired and put some wonky leaf handles on my "flower" pot.  Greg gave me some good advice on the leaf decorations since I was trying way too hard to make them symmetrical.  Sometimes it's very hard to defeat the natural impulse to symmetry.  The mind wants everything to be symmetrical and you have to work at keeping it at bay.
