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!

Oh !

I almost forgot to wish everybody a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!! My husband and our cat, Mew.

New Year's Resolution

To start an Etsy store.....................you can see I've already added a link to the currently empty store - I hope to have it filled shortly after January 1st......Check in and keep me honest ;)

Unexpected Beauty

Really Large frost crystals that formed all over the hood of my car last night. My husband Dave came in from the cold this morning to point them out to me..........mmmmm pretty :)

Something Old Something New

It's with mixed feelings that I welcomed my new Brent wheel into my studio. I've been using the same wonky old wheel that my parents bought used for me as a Christmas present my senior year of high school. I know that's weird to be attached to my wheel......but we've been together for a long time. The Brent is quiet....very quiet......Ol' Wonky is definitely not quiet, she kind of sounds and feels like riding on an old roller coaster at the fair. Brent goes slow fast and everything in between. Ol' Wonky only goes fast and faster. Oh well such is progress I suppose........I think I'll let them live side by side for awhile.

Distressed Leather

This is the finale results of the pots that I used the slip with sodium silicate and iron oxide. hmmm.......interesting.....I think I'll have to explore this further.
