2014-08-05 - Tuesday - Fungus cups

Tuesday I found some strange inverted mushrooms in the front yard.  I've seen all kinds of different fungi in that yard, but never these before.  They were like bowls or cups.  There's always something new in the yard if you're paying attention.

Tuesday night I started making funerary urns by request for some friends.  I can see these are going to be some of the hardest pots I've made since I want them to be especially finished and elegant, which is not my usual method.  I'm usually working towards the more organic look, but for someone's eternal home they have to be a bit more formal.
