I'm in the mood to create teapots!

Happy New Year!  Maybe it's the season....cold, dark winter and lots of snow; but I'm ready to dig my hands in the clay and make some teapots.  Pot 'o tea, anyone?  Earl Gray is my favorite tea, how about you? As any potter will tell you, the teapot is one of the most difficult pots to make because of all the components that must fit together and work in unison.  Honestly, I'm a bit fearful of lids. They have to fit exactly and I'm so not an exact type person!!  I need lots of practice on making lids. Spouts and handles are fun for me!  OK, to pump myself up for the challenge, I've been searching online for fun ideas.  I thought I'd share a few of my favorites with you.  They're all from ETSY SHOPS, of course! Enjoy and buy if you're tempted!!  Amazing artists, every one!
