I normally have a very clear idea of what I am going to create when I sit down at my art table. Sometimes the idea evolves as I draw and develops in a different direction and sometimes I abandon ideas and start over but it is rare for me to begin sketching when I have zero vision. This illustration, however, is the result of one such occasion and I honestly could not even begin to explain the segues in terms of pencil lines and thinking that produced this. I think we should all be glad that I am not a potter and could not, therefore, make this as an actual teapot.

Well right now mind is blank but isn’t there a potter who does decorated like this …maybe something like this. I bet you could do this.
I would love to see them if the name pops back into your head. At one point I was thinking of Toby Jugs so actual pottery was definitely an influence.
I think the serendipity section of your brain has outdone itself here. I love it.
Thank you very much!
