Great job Ben! I really like how those turned out even if the process didn’t go how you hoped it would. I’m looking forward to seeing them in person.

Hello Tux, Harry Cat and Landon!! It looks like you had fun with this project by playing with color. All three cups are cute but Tux is my favorite...you caught his image perfectly!

These make my heart happy! I love that you thought to include your boys in your art.

Love it, love it, love it!!! I agree that the eyes are the focal point of this piece but I also like the subtlety of the snout and the movement suggested by the tail. Color is perfect. The best part is that you are enjoying yourself so much by expressing your creativity through ceramics. That's my grandson!!!

I see you're venturing out and trying new colors...I like the color of this one! I agree with your Mom that this is a more feminine piece (which is suggested by both color and etching). A Valentine's Day for your favorite lady perhaps (I'm talking about me). Great work Ben!

That mug is very "mermaid-esk"!

Great job Ben I really like this one! You’ve got a good collection going, looks like it’s time to get a kiln.

This is an interesting piece based on its texture. I'd love to run my fingertips along the coils because it makes me want to "look with my hands instead of my eyes"! It reminds me of the trunk of a tree with a big knot on it...Ben, I can always trust you to come up with something interesting and thought-provoking!

Fun! My favorite thing about this piece is the story about it and how it represents Ben's journey in ceramics. Watch out, it's going to blow!

Do I like it? No, I love it!! I love the realistic shading of color, the skin texture, and how it creeps me out just like a real lizard! My favorite part--the lizard lips! Well done Ben, I'm very proud of you.

Your chameleon reminds me of "Rango" and the million times you watched that movie as a kid. I don't know how you can look at your artwork without it putting a smile on your face!

"Orange" "Chicken", Benjamin you are a funny (and artistic) guy!

Whoa, I want to hold this "orange egg" in my hand! I love the texture! Color too! It appeals to several senses--sight, sound, and feel. That's my grandson, Ben da Vinci!

I'm going to subtitle this piece as "Foghorn Leghorn" (he's a cartoon character that resembles your piece--check it out!). I see improvement with each of your projects and enjoy your choice of colors, symmetry/shape, and shiny glaze. You're creative, Ben, and I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Great job, your chicken looks really good Ben!

Your chicken has made my morning! Although I am terrified of birds, I think this guy is cute!

Wow, I see improvement already! Tell me when you're ready to make water bowls for Riga and Holland. I think the color of this cup is more calming and relaxing--I like it a lot (hint, hint).

Great functional design which is just what I would expect from a thinker like you! I also really like the royal blue glaze. I can't wait to see what you create next!

My favorite color for sure! Super impressive for your first time at the wheel Benners!!!
