For the past few days, I’ve been working on a side project, just for me. I have a lot of tall, clunky tools that I need to keep at hand while I’m working, and I’ve been using a tall plastic bucket for storage. A tall, tipsy bucket that is constantly falling over, spilling its contents on the floor. 

This week, I decided I was going to do something about that. I was going to make a stoneware tool bucket that would be heavy enough to stand tall and not dump my tools every time I reached for something. But of course, since this was going to be my tool bucket, it would have to be cool. Very cool! And what could be cooler than dragons? Well, how about using the new Frank Lloyd Wright font rubber stamps that I just scored on eBay? Cool, right?

But wait! My bucket has four dragons on the sides, but none of them have their pearl. And I still needed a bottom for the bucket. So I added a fifth dragon, and used my my maker’s mark (my logo icon) as the pearl. Now how cool is that?
