Just finished this snail mug for a friend of mine whose life motto is "slowly, slowly," meaning things often take their own sweet time, including our own growth and development. So, just relax and let things unfold. This motto could also apply to how long it took me to finish this mug!
Good things come to those who wait, right?... Erh, wait, perhaps you live by "Early bird gets the worm"???

Love the snail mug - & love it's message. In this whirlwind society - it takes a conscious effort to move slowly- but (I think) the rewards are great if you do!
oh my goodness, I hope it isn't rude to say I could have made that mug----but it is EXACTLY the kind of thing I love to make and I love yours sooooo much! good job!
Gary - Wow, I consider that a big complement. Thanks!
Hi Judy - Slowing down is a taking me a looooong time to learn how to do. That's an interesting idea, isn't it?... I'm a slow-learner at how to slow down. Jeez.
What a beautiful mug with a beautiful glaze. The only way I slow down is when my back is bad; I'm having to slow down a lot these days - maybe I'll learn something.
Hi Linda - I have a glitchy back too... Long soak in the tub tonight after a long day in the studio. Feeling better now, hope you are too.
