Cups look great! Yes, good on ya.
... alone in distant woods or fields, in unpretending sproutlands or pastures tracked by rabbits, even in a bleak and, to most, cheerless day .... .  I suppose that this value, in my case, is equivalent to what others get by churchgoing & prayer.  Hank Thoreau, 1857

What I gotta do to get one?

Update on the building project...all of the building martials have been ordered and now waiting for trusses to be shipped. I seem to always have a few projects running at once. Here is a list of a couple of them:
1. The project shelter that will consolidate most of my scattered projects into one area.
2. The 100 cups ceramic project for the Homeless Shelter fundraiser raiser.
3. The 200 Arrowhead display project

The cups are all made and waiting to be glazed
The shelter project is on hold waiting for materials
I have completed 90 of the points for the display so I am calling it halfway complete.

I would love to have one of those cups to go with the bowl.  Thanks for being the stand-up guy and doing this, brother.

This will be part of the display I am working on. Provided by a grant from The University of Northern Iowa. This is an example of big blue stem prairie grass. The roots are 6 plus feet long. This sample was preserved by the University this year and was delivered Thursday by their staff. The explanation of the grant and how we are part of it is kinda long winded. It will make more sense when it is completed.
