Making a Lizard Canteen

[@chingachgook9718]

Wes, I've watched your creations for some time now, and so enjoy you, and your creations! Thank you so much for sharing. And indeed, peace, love, and a good path to you, too.

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

Thank you, that means a lot to me. I often wonder if people watch the videos till the end but obviously you have.

[@trevorpayne5070]

We are going to try this Wes. Awesome video. I can’t wait to see the paint job.

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

Thanks Trevor. The end result is rather nontraditional but it worked out.

That lizard is so cute 🥰, legs really do make a difference ;-) . I bought a small beanbag type foot stool at a second hand store and have used that when I need something to rest my pots on. It's been very helpful seeing as I don't have any foam like yours. I found a beanbag travel pillow the other day, so I bought that too and put it in the pottery zone for future use. Thanks for the video, excellent as always 🙂

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

A travel pillow is a great idea, that would be very useful.

Great canteen,... The lizard is a great touch! I could imagine hiking through the desert drinking from such a vessel! We enjoyed the video very much and thank you! I will watch this one again! thanks!

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

Thanks. Having the lizard spirit in the desert would be a very good thing.

[@alanreed4830]

Appreciate all your videos and wonderful creations based on southwestern Native American artistic and utilitarian themes. You’re quite the master!

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

Thank you so much! I'm sure it would work as a canteen but I'm hesitant to use it.

Hi Wes : ) Thanks for making another nice video for us. I love the lizard art you added to this nicely made canteen and will be looking forward to seeing the final paint & finish. 👍🏻😊

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

Thank you. The canteen survived the firing, we'll see how the video works out.

[@GrannyGooseOnYouTube]

Wes, that is LOVELY!

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

Thank you, glad you like it.

[@angeladazlich7145]

I enjoy watching your construction techniques. Really clever. Did you ever think of painting Shrek on the front? The lugs look a little like Shrek ears. 😄

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

I knew the lugs reminded me of something and now I know - Shrek. Love it. Sounds like a good project for you.

[@tigre8124]

Haha so true! ❤

[@marleneruddell9395]

Hi Wes, really liked this video, and such a nice addition to the canteen!I love lizards, excited now to see how he fires up 😊

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

Thanks 👍 You are right, without the critter it would look pretty ordinary.

[@TheWanderingWulfs]

Wow! This is really cool, Wes! The lizard you made on the canteen is awesome. Very neat! 🦎

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

Glad you liked it!! Thank you.

[@cactifleurs4u290]

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

My pleasure 😊

[@cindydawson3815]

❤ this! Thanks for sharing. Love the vinegar hint. Thanks!

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

Good, I'm not sure why it works but it seems to make a difference.

[@willorocks]

Really cool design Wes! What a awesome canteen!!! Can't wait to see the fired results!

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

Thanks 👍 t

[@HeleneBindner]

We really enjoyed this video! And love your lizard canteen Wes!

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

Thank you, it was a fun project.

[@coopart1]

Very nice work !

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

Thank you Jeff, always appreciated.

[@eric8527]

Great video and great canteen Wes!

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

Glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate the comment.

[@モフモフ-z7d]

😘 Good water bottle It looks like a turtle shell 🐢 😊

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

Thanks. I've thought of putting a turtle on one. It certainly would make sense.

[@llanitedave]

Great job! Ya know, Wes, that would have made a very nice snake! 😁

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

I wasn't aware that "very nice snakes" existed. :) I just heard they discovered a new species of very large snake in the Amazon. No Eco touring for me.

[@llanitedave]

@@airstreamwanderings3683Good one! I grew up around snakes, and I have a real fondness for most of them. There are a few kinds I wouldn't want to be nearby to, but those are exceptions. But all is well, I like snakes with legs too! (BTW, what is your opinion of legless lizards? They exist as well!)

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

About the same as hairless cats.😊

[@njoyingtube1]

Your advice is delivered like a Good Teacher and the sound of the bell is unwanted . I'm going to attempt the canteen I agree re : the snakes . my granddaughter is artistic I may ask her to do help with the lizard . old new sub here .wishing you A Healthy & Happy future ..

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

You are very kind, thank you. When I make canteens I try to use two separate bowls in 2 different pukis. It usually works ok. With things like lizards I look at different drawings on Google to help me with the form but the painting design is my own.

[@PanTings]

woww it turned out so amazing. You did a marvellous job🎉

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

Thanks again! Two comments is very nice.

[@peterribolli8300]

Love your work :)

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@mihailvormittag6211]

👍

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

Thank you.

[@chrisinkansas8507]

I don't like snakes, either. Birds, lizards, they're cool.

[@airstreamwanderings3683]

I agree about the birds. It seems that most Hopi pots have some sort of bird iconography. Very nice.
