**My apologize for the editing...a clip of the handle texturing found in #224 was actually for Cup #223,but it all picks up nicely there after :) ** Had a little difficult time throwing these as my clay was pretty hard...but I just had to use it ...lol! That being said, it's not the best throwing I've ever done, but I'm pretty pleased with the handles :) Cup# 222 Was an experiment I think paid off...love this unique handle! Since I started out with clay that was a little more solid than usual, I needed to adjust my techniques to compensate and some of my cups felt very wobbly. Funny when editing the videos it didn't look as bad in the clips as it felt looking down on the pottery wheel! Cup # 223 is a nice comfortable cup! The handle actually feels good in the hand. Cup # 224..hmmm, this cup just needs something more and even as I type this I don't know what it is. I like the form and the simple handle, but it's missing something! Hope you are enjoying the videos! Best wishes to you all! ~ Tammy Jo
