This butterfly postcard was the colour and shading This butterfly postcard was the colour and shading I’d been aiming for with the glaze on this jug I made at wonderful @thefarnhampottery 
I’m glossing over the somewhat ‘solid’ base of this - over an inch!! My previous attempts had all ended up in the bucket because I’d been far too cavalier trying to bring up clay from the bottom. So this one was overly cautious. But at least it didn’t topple like the others.
Learning to throw at the wheel was so challenging and physically demanding but also such a mental reset. Thanks to our teacher Serenity who more than lived up to her name - particularly when dealing with my many cries for help 🤣 
Now I want to learn more…. Why did the wax resist on the jug on image 2 go so brown? Why do I always end up making cylinders or jugs even when I set out to make a wide dish? And why didn’t I use some more colourful glazes? I want to try it all again.
That’s the thing about pottery - it draws you in and makes you want to do more.

I love how Claire’s pattern has captured the character of the best-loved Peter Rabbit and you can even knit Peter’s distinctive blue jacket! Why not knit Peter Rabbit today? With Claire’s step-by-step photos and knitting techniques clearly explained, this little knitted bunny is bound to be loved by generations of children.

I love Claire’s patterns and I just had to share this adorable Peter Rabbit knitting pattern PDF download. It’s based on Beatrix Potter’s iconic illustrations and the true storybook look of this much-loved character. The perfect nursery decoration or handmade newborn baby gift don’t you think? If I was giving it as a newborn or baby gift, I’d make without the tiny buttons on the coat and embroider on the eyes, for safety reasons. Claire’s easy techniques will help you create your own cuddly bunny inspired by the adventures of Peter Rabbit.
