Time to get glazing





One more bisque load and then it will be time to get glazing. I plan on mixing up a couple of new glazes first - an oribe and a tomato red. I would love to have a recipe for a cone 9/10 matte yellow - does anybody have a good recipe they'd be willing to share?

I'm So Glad It's Spring

Even though it's raining (pouring actually), it is so nice to have spring finally here. It smell like spring....really earthy....and the crocus are blooming. This is my favorite time of year. Next to the kitchen window the Tamarac Pine tree's new needles are beginning to show giving the tree a very graceful soft green ferny quality. I love that tree!
But now it's time to put my rain slicker back on and get back to the studio. I have a bunch of slab plates I'm working on at the moment and I'm anxious to play with their surfaces once they're bisqued and ready to glaze.

New Year


Finished up last years paperwork yesterday and gave the studio a good cleaning. My first bisque firing of the year came out of the kiln on Monday and I'm looking forward to a month and a half of being able to work non stop until my next show in mid February.
I'm still working on my Etsy Store - I'm not quite there but my youngest daughter is home from college (a photography major) and she has promised to help me with some additional photos of my work for the site and some of the shows I'm preparing to apply to.
I have been a master of procrastination for most of my life - soooo - in an effort to turn that around Focus is my mantra for this year.
Cheers!
