A new dragon by Gary Rith

 My Gary Rith dragon arrived on Monday! I'm so thrilled. Tuesday's coffee will be imbibed from the lips of the mug, while dragon looks on from the handle. Isn't she cute?

Thanks a lot, Gary, for creating this charming mug!






A complete surprise was the little tail on the other side of the mug!

Here's his Etsy shop if you are looking for some unique and charming pottery.

Dragons be all around these days!

 Not sure where this first flying one came from into Facebook-land ... but what a gorgeous view.



Someone was very creative to make these dragon bookends.


My friend and fellow potter, Gary Rith made a dragon mug, and one with a unicorn!

I just put my 5th little one into the kiln with glaze on her. No. 6 is waiting to bisque. I haven't felt quite up to creating in clay for the last week or so. I have some big ideas stewing in my mind however!

I've always loved the Bosch detective stories, and listening to this one again has been enjoyable. I can stop the story any time my coughing interferes with the story. Incidentally, no dragons were harmed in the making of this book...indeed they are simply a reference to the Triad gangs from China. Those people were violent!

Dare I share dragons with Eileen's Saturday's Critters?


Hope you have a great week ahead!
