Just your brain!! I was still oooohing and awwwwing over the 'rim trim' and now you're into creative "spanking"! Amazing texture. Where did Jerry go???☺
Thanks so much Shirley!! How nice of you to ask about Jerry, haha....I will tell him he needs to make a return. Cheers to you.
Tough to pick a favorite. They’re all wonderful. The paddle designs are so simple but great and what really makes them work is your thoughtful inventiveness in using them. We’re all encouraged and freshly motivated by your hard work sharing your pottery life. Thank you for taking the time.
Aww....that is so sweet of you Fruitless! You just made my day. Have a great day!
Ann you are always thinking out of the box and finding uses for ordinary items! Thank you so much.
HI Alisa! Thanks so much. It is a lot of fun to experiment and even better when some of the ideas work out, right. Happy potting.
Exotic and exciting! I believe that there’s nothing in this world that you’ve not discovered or invented yet! Your videos are very good and thanks for sharing.
Hi Evelyn. You are so sweet. Thanks as always for watching. Happy potting.
This is simply so brilliant. You are so creative and watching these videos makes me go back to start doing pottery again. Thank you for sharing these ideas. I loved all the patterns, but the beaded and the bird seeds were very pretty.
Aw...thanks so much Gi. Jim and I really appreciate you watching and are so glad you like our ideas. Happy potting to you.
So simple, yet so effective!
Hey Sara. I thought so too. I hadnt applied
Yet another top-notch video!!! You are a wealth of ideas an inspiration. Thanks very much indeed!
Hi Dan. That is so kind of you. Thanks so much!

Great ideas!
Aww...thanks so much Cheryl! We appreciate your support.
Wonderful video! I always enjoy your videos as they are not only very instructive but filmed and edited with excellence. I'm always looking for ways to add unique textures to my pottery and this video was inspiring. However, a video showing how you applied the underglaze and wiped it off on these textures would also be extremely helpful. I often have challenges getting the exact look that I'm trying to achieve- it can be a fine line between wiping off too little or too much of the underglaze. Any tips/tricks that you know of that you could share would be very appreciated!!
Hi NTCPA. Nice to meet you. thanks so much for watching and for the kind words. I am touched. As far as the wiping back goes, you are right, it does take a little practice to understand your underglaze and how they will fire in the end. A good rule , perhaps, is to wash your sponge often as the underglaze will build up fast on the sponge and then just leave residue on your piece to where you cant really see the color of the clay underneath. Another tip is to not put any glaze over the wiped back underglaze. that way if you are conservative and wipe back more of the underglaze .... you can add more after it is fired and just refire it again. I hope that helps.
Those are great! Isn’t it amazing what you can do with popsicle sticks?❤️🤗🐝🎄Merry Christmas, Happy Solstice, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa!!🎄
Thank you! You too!

Good ideas 👍
Glad you like them!
Wonderful ideas! There’s something very satisfying when paddling my pottery.😊
Good morning Ann, this is Bokie007 aka Aida Nuri.
Thank you again for this inspirational video.
My question is about the hardness of the clay. My fear is that if it’s too dry I might end up altering the form.
Please advise and THANK YOU 🌸
Hi Aida. Good question. First thing is that there is no right or wrong way to do this. Everyone has their own preferences to what they like. Some people may prefer altering the form while texturing. Some people like MORE texturing and some might like only texturing on CERTAIN parts of their pots like along the bottom etc.. You might want to play around with these paddles and with the shapes of the forms you want to paddle. I found that these little jars with tiny openings worked well for hiding any alterations to the form. I just made sure that the collared opening at the top was straight and on center. One idea is to create a closed form without any collar or opening. then do your paddling. Then create a separate collar. Center the form on your wheel at the bottom....then attach the collar to the very top center. That way, as long as the bottom and the top are centered, it will create the illusion of the piece being on center even though the body of the pot has been altered.... Another tip, I did all my paddling while the clay was soft so I didnt have to worry about any cracking that you might get if the clay was too dry. Good luck. I hope this helps.
@@annruel1982 🌸🌸🌸Thank you
@@bokie007 You are so welcome Aida!
Thanks' Mate some good idea's there
Hi Jeffrey. Cheers to you from Florida!! Thanks so much for watching. Give them a go!!
Hex nuts on a paddle would also be cool! Might give a broken beehive effect.
Hi Stop! Tht is a great idea. Why didnt I think of that. Very inspiring. Give it a try!!
Love them all!
progress!!!
Always progress, Forevercreating! Happy potting!!
How stiff was the clay? I really like pots with texture and you ideas are great.
Hi Marcie. The clay was fresh. I had just hand built that piece but to let you know my clay was a bit stiff as opposed to being on the sticky wet side of fresh. Thanks so much for watching!! Give it a go.
Did Jim come up with that title? Lol!
Hi Su! He is in charge of managing the Little Street Pottery Research Facility Team and creates all the titles and even gives promotions 🙂 hahahaha.
