Qotw: .... What Would Be A Logical Follow Up Question?


Recommended Posts

Yum those salt pots. I love the look of the folded vases.

 

Chris and Paul nice forms.

 

Everyone has so much going on. I haven't done much for weeks due to some surgery. But I am hitting it hard the rest of the year. It's go time. I will get a post up tomorrow after I throw my mugs for the day.

 

Good qotw! Always neat to see what people are working on at a moment in time.

Under my table: clay mixing buckets and assorted garbage: and 1- well that didn't work bucket.

 

On top of my table: more clay mixing buckets, more assorted garbage, and 2 (2.5lbs) of test clay.

 

Notice the chaos, the clutter, the mayhem!!

 

Ah yes- the messiness of clay.

Nerd you are one organized dude compared to my chaos.

Tomorrow I unload 42 cubic feet of glaze wares price and pack it and sort it to where and who gets the wares. No time for photos as I have to get going to a show.

I get calmer just looking at Bruce's wares-I really like those boxes Bruce.

Stuff everywhere at the moment - I say I'm multi-tasking but you could say I currently lack focus!

Testing letter stamps for my niece's wedding favours (130 different name tags to go on the heart-shaped dishes in the 2nd photo). Green ware waiting to go into the kiln. Bisqued pieces with tissue transfer decoration waiting to be glazed...

Plus 3 damp boxes of thrown bowls - 1 more to trim, then decisions re decorating all 9 bowls. This is quantity for me Mark!post-13648-0-26289900-1462362040_thumb.jpgpost-13648-0-48002100-1462362061_thumb.jpgpost-13648-0-17238400-1462362093_thumb.jpg

Well, if I only occasionally have a small dog under my table, this hot mess is what's on top right this moment.

It's an order of Yerba mate "gourds" for a local tea shop that have been waxed and are up for glazing. (I waxed the bottoms last night in front of the tv upstairs, hence the grocery bins to carry them to the studio.)

On the table: A few bowls I'm slip trailing, jars of paint brushes,a lazy Susan that I use for a banding wheel, layers of newspaper, some wax resist and glazes, a whole bunch of new tools I just ordered including MORE paint brushes, some MudTools, and a bat system that I'm really excited about. Will take a photo later.

here is my little aspire wheel with a diamond adhesive wheel attached to a designated bat. I used this to clean the bottoms of some of the wood fired pieces from the pre-NCECA firings.I have been traveling a lot since them. Leaving for Scottish Potters Association workshop May 21-22.

What beautiful works (and work places) we can see in the pictures of last weeks QOTW! I want to say something to everybody's pictures, but my time on the computer is minimal. I have much sorrow and problems with my Mom and my mother-in-law. They are both quite old (87 and 94) and quite stubborn and I have to solve daily problems they generate. For instance my Mom stumbled and fell face first in a wardrobe. She looks as if she were fighting with bears. I had to literally drag her to the doctor and he hospitalized her. Seems she had a small stroke when she fell. So please have patience with me. I'll come online as often as possible!

 

Thank you for all the beautiful pictures of your works! I have to think of a new question for next week. If you want to be my guest with an own question you want to ask your/our colleagues, please email or message me! I would love to have guests in the QOTW.

 

Hugs

I know what you are going through, I help my mother in-law who is 93 she is not that much trouble but is demanding.   I am going over to her house today to do planting instead of working in my shop.  Twenty years ago my father, mother and father in-law were all dying of different illnesses at the same time.  We spent all of our time helping them, at the time I was a decorator, going to college part time and had a teenage son.  I am surprised I lived through it.  Denice

Evelyne:

Understand the stress and the worry: my 94 yr old mother in law lived with us in the last years of her life. Mom had a stroke not too long ago: people tend to overlook the toll it takes on the caregiver/s. Thoughts & prayers.
