Wire Tea Pot - A Charming Exchange Auction and seagulls

I'm a little teapot,

Short and stout

Here's my handle,

Here's my spout

When the kettles boiling,

Hear me shout

Tip me over and pour me out!

This little teapot was made by me for my observational drawing class! first we had to draw on paper with our left hand (or right hand if we were left handed) with a 6B pencil which is really tricky but you do approach the drawing differently and with less perfection so is a good technique for mark making and then we had to 'draw' with the wire. Working with wire is really tricky too and you could really use three or four hands but Im quite pleased with the results ~ to photograph it I had to use the chimney cap as a teapot holder so it would show up.

I do quite like the effect of the wire against the old copper china mans hat chimney cowl!

Hope everyone is ok out in blog land, I am now in my third week of feeling rubbish and have not been able to work or go to college!!!!! Sinusitis ~ horrid and painful and the pills they give you to make you better are even more horrid, still my lovely Jim took me out today ~ (first time in ages) for some sea air, we went to the East Neuk which is my fav place ever (apart from Queensland) and breathed in the wonderful VERY fresh air brrrr it was chilly and the cloud was low but the sound of the sea was amazing and relaxing.

Took a photo of rust ( couldnt resist )
and a seagull :)


how gorgeous and fluffy this little fella was,

here's a snippet of a screen print with stitch I did a while ago

so Im off for now, hope all my friends out there are ok ~ loads of love to you ~ Judy xxx
