This week I am creating a small teapot, a replica of a shape I made recently and really liked. I take care of turning the miniature components, cutting the pieces to size and finally assembling them, attaching the spout and pulling the fine handle before carving and carefully finishing the vessel a few days later. I must force myself to make more of these, and in larger quantities, as I always love the process.

Let me know what you think and as always, thanks for watching!
