First efforts at using CriCut for silkscreen, printing underglaze onto rice paper, and then transferring images to pots...pretty darned successful. 'Learned a lot!

Posted some pics of my studio reorganization efforts in my gallery

I have two weeks till Open Studio and I think I'm getting sick! I have 26 mugs and several other pieces wrapped in plastic, waiting to be handled and carved, as well as 40+ other pieces that are dry and ready to be fired.

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!

Coming home from the International symposium. IN Houston waiting for my last flight of the day back to Brownsville.

Pressed 120 gallons in 4 hours with 24 helpers

Getting ready for Pirate Weekend on Massacre Island/Mobile, Ala. next Saturday. Checklist includes eye patch, dogs, sticks, greenware, and some fired pottery! Must practice saying, Arrrrrr!

Looks like I have a causalty of war in the studio. Went out early to shut down the two test kilns: one was frozen in "8888" LED status. Lightning came through at 4am/: think it is fried.

I'm just now getting on the screenprinting bandwagon for transfers...and the CriCut option for making silkscreen masks is a game changer...yep, that's all I need...another ADHD design option #smh

Any tips applying for ceramic teaching jobs?

Firing our mural today and we'll install it at the SiO2 Ceramics Supply company outside Barcelona. we'll be firing Obvara and Milk firing at the same time we install the mural. SO far a fabulous clay experience. WE have 272 years experience collectively.

Third good glaze firing this week! After three or four disastrous glaze loads I'm starting to gain my confidence back.

It's getting real, people. I just ordered the gravel base for my concrete kiln pad!

Element changing day. All the pots that were underfired in my recent element faillure have been refired. A few ended up overfired, but most are ok, including the order of 10 plates (phew).

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!

Invited to do a pop-up show at 'last minute'...said, "OK" because it is less than a mile from home and will last only 3 hrs. I can do this

I spend my mornings drinking coffee and going through the gallery postings. I encourage all members to check out recent postings. The recent work posted by Pugaboo, Giselle, Joseph, 1515Art, and others is really impressive.

I have made my Christmas production list, and am now terrified...

I was pouring glaze over the outside of some little tumblers the other day. I used a small sour cream container lid to shield the bottom from glaze. Worked pretty well.

They accepted our offer on the red Lodge house so we're moving' back to Montana! So excited. We'll probably begin the move with studio equipment and then start showing our house. Should be moving by the Spring.YAY!
