Evelyne Schoenmann Posted October 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 thank you all so much for your stories and for the serious and not so serious ideas for a plan B. I see that a lot of you are struggling with health problems, also, or mainly, in the "tool" we potters need the most: our hands, arms and shoulders. And, nevertheless, you all stay with clay, work slower when the pain gets the upper hand and catching up when pain recedes for a while. I think you all (and I too) deserve a BIG APPLAUSE! Have a happy and wonderful weekend! Evelyne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 So Mark, when Sebastian was singing "Under the Sea" in The Little Mermaid, you just nodded in agreement the entire time?... Never saw little mermaid? But I have spent many days underwater if this counts? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 i think mark has a possible plan b. it is to take each of us potters out scuba diving. then let us each wander through his remarkable property and let us all drool. doc weathers has a possible plan b also, it is to make very complicated tools for each of us and to sell them on a website set up by one or more of the computer folks here. marcia can rent out her wonderful studio to each of us sequentially since she is always traveling and never home anyway. chris can make colored clay for us so we don't have to do the hard part, just the fun. see, there are lots of plans named b.

Evelyne Schoenmann Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 oldlady: I like it!! Do you have more ideas for plans B? I'd love to use Marcia's Texas studio when she's away in Rome coming winter.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 if you pay the oil bill, you can use mine all winter. it is toasty warm when the radiators are hot. i keep it at just under 50 degrees F so the pipes don't freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJR Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I mentioned my plan B a while back on another thread. I am going to fake my own death and then go to the Coromandel peninsula in New Zealand and live in a shack that I build out of driftwood. Trouble is.. I told too many people about the faking my own death part. Anonymous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebekah Krieger Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 unfortunately the reason I have been gone lately is because I have had to study real estate because I need a second source of income. (boo) but if I lost my limbs, I would still find a way to work with clay... be it with my face... I will find a way. <3 Clay is my first love, and will never be substituted. It took me a wholesale order to realize that I will be satisfied making my own work if I have to make income elsewhere. It's so much pressure to fill a wholesale order. Mentally challenging to get down and work when you worry about the customer's satisfaction. It takes some of the joy out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
