LeeU

I made an album in my gallery with the logo/avatar-proper size-the only photo in it...now how do I get it from there onto the profile? I know nothing about linking to a url..how?

Not happy-I have emailed three different admins omultiple times over a month's time and NOT ONE has even responded-this is about that "dead man" profile I can't get rid of-can't upload any image, and they are the right size. Phooey.

Well, I have expereinced my first disappointing fire-my own doing-nothing wrong with anything technical, just about half of the resulting designs arfe not what I had hoped for; adjustments will be made!

Not happy, not happy. I went to change my profile picture and no matter what I do---and yes, I have read and tried suggestions/instructions from this site--it will not "take" anything, including my original pic. Phooey.

Happily adding underglazes to pieces I am going to refire in my next bisque load.

Happy with my recent fire; just put a few pendants in my gallery-more to come.

Doing the last of the glazing for my next kiln load. Always exciting to begin to do another one-very grateful for getting back into art.

I tookout my URL for now because I am moving my web site and don't want to put a prolonged "under construction" thing out there.

Somewhat slow going, since the guy assisting me with my web design/development is doing it pro bono (i.e. no charge-he owes me LOL) but it's off to a good start and I am psyched about making a functional site with an online store.

Taking small, managable, bites---I am finding I do much better work if I consciously limit my times & tasks to the time it takes for any body part or cluster of brain cells to start to be uncomfortable. "Quit while you are ahead" is my new daily mantra!

Pleased to report my sister was happy with her honey jar set (jar, 1 spoon, 1 dripper, tiny spoon rest, cone burner with bee imprint). I need much more practivce though--it was not what I was originally aiming for, which was to throw the piece, not handbuild it. Need to stretch!

I put some pics of the honey jar (for my sister) in my gallery.

So glad this site is back!!!!! Thanks to whoever fixed the problem!

AFter trashing several different approaches to my sister's honey jar, I have settled on a carved out solid block with a bit of commercial stamping. Soon to go into the bisque fire.

Honey JAR is finally coming together!

Trying to make a honey pot for my sister. All I am going to say about this so far is aarrrrgggghhhh.

Posted some pics of my studio reorganization efforts in my gallery

Getting ready to test some underglazes in a cone 05 fire; the completed studio reorg is downright inspiring-I can find everything and have more working space!

My reorg just keeps getting better. I found many small containers of clay to reclaim that I did not even know I had, my muscle guy is interested in doing some grunt work, and my landlord made me risers for greenware drywall boards that triple the available space.

Just did a reorg of my studio space, with the help of some hired muscle. Same amount of stuff, but now a good bit more of working space and room for me to move around better. Yee haw!

Just posted an album in Gallery -- LeeU June 2016 -- It has some pieces from my recent firing.

My "mixed mess" single fire came out beautifully! And the few pieces that did not do so well taught me what I needed to know.

Love this part where there's only a hundred degrees or so until I can lift the lid on the kiln!

Score!! A potter in NH is selling off most of her studio, so I got myself over a $100 (retail) worth of tools for $15. Yee haw!

I tweaked my web site a bit more-a lot of of work, need descriptions, a shopping cart, and much more stuff. Probably shouldn't have published it yet, but oh well!
