Teapot Tuesday - Dogwood Teapot
This is another example of a side handled teapot. Last weeks teapot was smaller and had the handle on the left, this one is a little larger and is handled on the right side. This pot was also made with a white clay that works well for doing Mishima and underglaze design so that's exactly what I did with it. I even took some videos of the processes, you can find them on my youtube channel here.
The only thing I don't like about this teapot is trying to get a good photograph of it. I think it looks a little off balance in the picture because the handle is behind the teapot body. If I take the picture from the top like I did the smaller side handled teapot, then you loose a lot of the detail of the painting. These are some of the trials of a 3D artist showing work in 2D. How would you photograph the piece?
I hope everyone has a great Teapot Tuesday. I can't wait to see the tea pots the other potters are posting.

It should be working now, sorry about that.
Deleteoh I love that teapot, my pink dogwood has a couple of flowers I may post them tomorrow. the dogwood is wonderful as the flowers reflect light from the sun and your teapot has captured that brightness very well.
