Maxamillian

Maxamillian sells old used cars.
In his spare time he loves cigar bars.
That he is cliché does not matter.
But his polyester shirt is sadder.

My pal Max is 5.25" to the top of his head and 6" to the top of his handle. He's the first to insist on a "SEE gar" rather than a "Butt" for his smoke break. I'm sure it's a cheap cigar at that.

Adopted by Michele at the Mountainside Show (Potters' Guild of NJ)

You Did WHAT?

I'm not so sure just what I did, but this fella hasn't stopped being shocked since the day he emerged from the kiln. I can't wait for him to share a little of that surprise.

He's 4.25" tall and 5" to the top of his handle.

Trixie

Trixie is very precocious
And her posture is atrocious.
Now her heavy favourite big books
Straighten her back and improve her looks.

Trixie is 6" to the top of her head and her books bring her up to 9" straight and tall wonderful posture!

Fun story about Trixie - Mum says that Trixie recalled for her grade three classes --- all the children were set to walking around their classroom daily with their texts on their heads to make sure they stood up straight. Trixie is pleased to know she's taking after such a wonderful woman!

And guess what else! Dad's favourite dog's name was Trixie - Trixie is running two for two - not bad.

And I know now why she's always smiling - Trixie has been adopted by Mum and Dad!

Bruce

No rest – no excuse – I must attend.
Important yes, but WHEN will it end?
Says Bruce, I’ve work at my desk, you see
To complete before I’m too sleepy!

Bruce is 5.25 inches until his comb over is attached the he's 6.75 inches tall.

Jason

Jason is a pirate on the sea;
Mostly in the crow’s nest he will be.

And he does that by sucking on a lime.

The Smoking Club Outside the Mischief Factory

The boys pose for a group photo while on break outside of the Mischief Factory. They delight in torment!

Joseph

His horns may be small,
But his delight abounds:
When Joseph undertakes mischief,
He astounds!

Jack

It’s high time for Jack to quit smoking.
The cost is too high, he’s not joking.
So he sucks on peppermint candy:
Fits in pockets and cheap – how handy!

Snap

It was just a little squabble,
Over a shiny little bauble,
And though Snap broke a horn when thus lured,
The wee bauble was not secured.

Snap is 4.5 inches to the top of his head and 5.5 inches to the top of his tail loop.

Joe, the Chef

Joe, a chef at Buffet Chinese,
Knows not Szechwan from Cantonese.
But it’s no matter, no not a tick,
These customers can’t use a chop stick.

The Boss

Nothing gets by the eagle-eyed Boss;
Anything missing, he knows his loss.
But he’s smart and fair so he’s respected;
Any words against him are rejected.

Billy

An apple on the head of Billy,
As an arrow target seems silly.
A “William” shot such an arrow –
Hit he the apple? Or the fellow?

Billy is 5.5 inches tall. When he puts on his hat with its apple target and wormy friend (what exactly will happen to the poor worm if the arrow flies true?) he's 9.5 inches tall.

Billy was adopted by Joanne and Brittany at the 2011 Mountainside Spring show!

Where am I?

He looks rather surprised that all 4.25 inches of him have arrived here, doesn't he?

Adopted at the Beltane Fastival by Mimi.

Edward

He must be a buddy to Honey, but he hasn't talked to me - I'll call him Edward after a new friend until he's comfortable enough to share - apparently he is far less outgoing, perhaps more cautious, than his friend Honey.

All I know is that he's 4.25 inches tall - but then the males of the species are generally a little smaller - right?Edward is not availablefor adoption.

Honey

Honey goes fishing whenever she can;
Outfished by not any fisher-man.
Water salty and not fresh in streams,
Is where she sets hooks in all her dreams.

Honey is 4,5 inches to the top of her handle.

Honey was adopted by April - a dedicated and kind fisherwoman!

Spencer

Spencer zookeeper loves all creatures;
Sharp teeth, long claws, are all great features.
The animals like Spencer a lot.
So biting him? No sir, they will not!

Spencer is 5.25 inches tall until he puts on his helmet and reaches 7.25 inches.

Michael

Michael makes faces to ruin each shot;
So many taken, ruins the lot.
Crossed his eyes and his tongue sticking out;
The picture is wasted, there is no doubt.

Julie

Little Miss Julie will not wear pants,
But she wears big boots to stomp on ants.
She may be cute in her curls and bow,
But she has a mean streak, this we know!

Miss Julie is 6.25 inches tall and wearing her hat reaches 8 inches.

Thomas

Thomas is a crotchety old man
Who just wants some sleep – noises he’ll ban.
But his blue ear plugs? He’ll need more.
He’s trying to sleep over his wife’s snore!

Thomas is 6.25 inches tall.

Teresa

Teresa is a workout junkie;
Loves to watch the muscle boys hunky.
The truth is she’ll forget all those boys,
When the gym buys all those new weight toys.

Teresa is 5.25 inches tall and her curls put her up to 7.25 inches.

Shazam

This “tail” is about Shazam’s bunny.
Shazam’s not good and it’s not funny.
The tricks that fail are blamed on the hare,
Who must escape – that blame’s not fair!
Shazam is 8.5 inches to the top of hit hat - the Bunny tops him off to 10 inches.
