Angled Tumblers!

Here are some angled tumblers I found on the internet. I'm not sure who they're by, but i dig them. Over the summer I just started playing around with the idea of faceting and I ended up making a set of faceted tumblers. These are kind of similar, although while not faceted, they do have angles.These are about the size I want to be working with. I also noticed that the angles are kind of similar to the work that Sarah Davis does, doing little cut-outs on her pieces.

So I forgot to take a picture of my works in progress in class...

This is my cat Tundra with a wood-fired cup I made last year. I've recently started throwing again and I've been working on tumblers around this size. I really like small cups like this because they fit easily in your hand and they can be very simply decorated, not a ton of surface space. It'd be fun working on some that have indents for your thumb and fingers, I think Jack's been working on some of those.
