Of Course Salt and Pepper Shakers are Cute!

I bought this one several months ago, from Ely, in Heraklion, in Crete.

 

Definitely cute, and oh, wow, the cork doesn't have to be on the bottom. That has put me off making shakers: how do I know how far the cork will stick out, to make a bottom that sits flat? Clearly, I made myself unnecessary difficulty with that idea.

Since then, I've made several others. They are just out of the firing and available to try.


Aah, they work. That's fun with something new. My cutest are definitely the accidental ghosts.






I didn't realize they were people until I made the pouring holes and saw faces. Ghosts in sheets, of course, and I glazed them white.

But Ely's is best. The cork as flirty tail wins the cuteness contest.

Art in the Village

as well as everywhere else.

Hello.

I'll be at Art in the Village on Sunday, in Carlsbad. Stop by if you like. There's lots to see!






That's Grand Avenue, downtown Carlsbad, cool and coastal. I'll offer you a chair in the shade.
