  1. I'll look again, but it looked complicated. I'm an ok throw-er, but I am not that skilled! Thank you, Nancy
  2. Thank you!! I think the pool noodle would be the right size. I have an extruder but I don't think the hollow die I have it big enough. I appreciate your help! Nancy
  3. Hello! I am looking to make a totem and I looked online on how to make a donut shape for the totem. I don't want to throw one, as those looked complicated and finicky and I like to handbuild more anyway. Does anyone know how to make a donut shape? I'm trying to figure out if I have to drape it and what to use for that. If anyone would share, I would be very grateful. Thank you, Nancy
  4. Oh, good suggestion. Thank you!! I bisque to 05. Can I fire again at that before the final steps and firing at cone 6?
  5. Thank you very much!! LOL!! Yes, I should have included a picture!! I already bisqued him. I should have asked her first!! I have iron oxide and have an electric kiln!
  6. And everything I'm finding online isn't very clear. I want to use the dark oxide like a wash on my bear and then use underglazes for his face and nose. Thanks for any help in advance!
  7. Thank you for doing this!!! I understand now!!! Much appreciated, Nancy
  8. Hi, I tried this, but don't think I"m understanding what you mean when you say you have "the forearm up the side," while your fist is on top. I get what the left hand is doing, but not the right arm and hand. Can you explain a different way? Thanks, nancy
  9. I think as long as 80% of the country is still working or getting unemployment, sales will be up - at least online. My views on etsy are way up over last year and my sales skyrocketed over last year, but I wasn't selling much last year cause I was working again full time. People are home, can't go shopping, and are bored to tears. Thus, they shop. I think Christmas shopping will be good, but online. I think an online presence, even if only Instagram, is vital right now.
  10. HI, I agree that it isn't strength, cause I'm strong and I've seen tiny women throw 25 pounds!! It it my technique. I read your thoughts several times and I think I am getting what you are saying. I am going to have to play some more this weekend when I have time. Thank you! Nancy
  11. Thanks, I never heard or saw that technique!! I am going to try it tonight!!
  12. I'm making pottery for over 9 years and I still can't center well. Anything over 4 or 5 pounds and I'm screwed. I've had excellent teachers show me, I've watched hundreds of videos, practiced hundreds and hundreds of hours and still can't do it. One reason I started handbuilding more. I wonder if body shape has anything to do with it. I'm very strong, should be able to do this, but I am also very short-waisted and have long limbs. Wonder if that affects it?? Probably a ludicrous thought, but has crossed my mind so I thought I'd ask. Nancy
  13. I just had to get fingerprinted and they had a tough time getting prints! I’ve been fingerprinted before and that never happened. I’ve been throwing a lot more this year! nancy
  14. Oh! An apple baker is like a ring holder, but with taller sides! Now I want a baked apple!
