Does it smell like yeast in here to you?

I was going to post this yesterday, but it just got too late. Yesterday was a pretty good day by all accounts. I spent the morning in the kitchen playing with yeast, first making bread (a rather nice whole wheat), then brewing beer (I won't know if that is nice for a while). After lunch it was out to the studio to get some work done. I now have a nice batch of reclaim worked up and ready to throw. I also finished up a few things I started on Saturday.

First we have a couple bowls that got trimmed. There were three to start with. One bit the dust, though, when I failed to realize my Giffin Grip was not on the wheel head properly. Drat! These two I was not entirely thrilled with at first. Not real fond of the wide rim sticking out there. They are beginning to grow on me now, however. I think they will end up as planters after I punch some holes in them and throw some plates to go under them.

And here are some fancy little oval vases. I have been playing around with this idea for a few months or so. One problem I have always had with them was how to handle the seam between the wall and the base. I left it visible on these, but have blended it in on other. Not sure which I like better. Any thoughts?
The little spiral "ears" I have done before; they are probably my favorite addition on these. The lug kind of things on the rim of the one in back don't do much for me. I was somewhat pleased with the feet on the one in front, though. I had not tried these before, and they definitely need some polishing up, but it might be another direction to go.
Now everything is happily drying under plastic and awaiting slip and decoration. And it is time for me to go to bed. Tschus.
