I guess this is the best place to post this. I changed my avatar. Why, you ask? Well, even if you didn't I'll tell you anyway:)

I wanted something meaningful rather than just a cool picture. One of Talula's hobbies is hand crafted pottery and he's pretty good at it. He made a number of mugs for those who attended M.O.M. 2016 last August. I keep mine in a glass front display case above my computer. A nice momento of a good time. Thanks, Talula!

I have a beautiful bowl he created. I am glad he ships all the way to Ohio. I need to check out what is new.

You should come and see him make the stuff in person.

You're right, Paolo! A MOM would be an ideal place. I bet Talula is the only potter you'll ever see who can keep that wheel spinning and shape clay while holding a cigarette at the same time.
