What a good use for Pippin's first successful pot.

[blslarner]

Why, thank you! Yes, a thank-you gift to his teacher!

himself coiled to follow her lead

What a marvelous analogy.

[blslarner]

It's been wonderful to find so many different uses for each prompt word! Thank you, Janet.

[blslarner]

I agree, Mews. She probably has several from her favorite students, I'm thinking.

[lindahoyland]

A great use of what I think is quite a tricky plot!

[blslarner]

I'm so glad you liked it, Linda. Thank you!

When it was fired and he shyly offered it to her in thanks, she felt a tightly wound place in her heart relax.

That's lovely. She so wanted Pippin to succeed, but wouldn't patronise him by faking it - so real success must be a great relief for her.

My parents still have a number of wobbly coil pots on their shelves at home produced by their various offspring at primary school - much easier for little hands than trying to manage throwing on a wheel!

I know. I did a coiled bowl that for years I used to hold various things, until a child knocked it from the etarge and it finally broke.

I'm just glad that Pippin would be able to know some success in his pottery.
