This keeps getting better - I love making brushes!

As if the first message that Tennessee potter shared isn't enough, she just sent this:

I just love the brushes ,so does hubby so I will order 2 more in another week or so. I will post some of the work we did with them tomorrow or the next day.

Now I understand the excitement my wife feels when someone comes back for another piece of her pottery.  This feels really good - I know they're good brushes and the wife says they're good brushes and her friends say they are good brushes... But it seems so much more real when strangers are saying they're good brushes!! This is great!  The wife promised to  keep her eyes open for pics of the work this potter is doing.  

My Next Show - Less than a week away!

Kathy is my wife's potter friend.  She, Andy, her kids, and her dog, Jelly, make me welcome in their home; she's insisted I join her house show and I am so looking forward to spending time with her and her friends!  Hope you'll come out too.  I know I should be pushing my wife's pottery show up at Icehouse, but she'll understand!

Isn't this exciting!

I finally understand what gets my wife so excited about selling her pottery. Today I got this message from Tennessee:

Just a quick note, I am very excited to use my new brushes today , My husband will help me and I am starting him on the fox brush ,more to be told by evening !!!Thank you Mitch Love them and thank you Su for getting them to us so fast!

I'm getting advice from her pottery friends about salesmanship and presentation of myself (and the brushes) and all the much-needed strokes from near strangers. Of course, the wife is annoyed that I listen to their advice and come home telling her how exciting that advice is.... after she's said the same thing to me only a day or so before. She thinks I don't believe her and only accept (the same) advice from others.... OK, maybe.
