Sitting out back, five feet from the hummingbird feeder, watching four of them fight over it. Amazing little creatures.

Have had two get stuck in my garage ... takes some doing to get them out!

That moment when you visit someone's house you haven't been to for a long time and pick up a jug off the shelf to see where it came from and discover it's got your initials on...
-
Sometimes I have no memory of having made that kind of work ... funny to me but not them ... I look through old slides ( I did say old ) and love to be surprised by what I used to make. Maybe I will add a page to my site if I can figure out how to transfer the slides with my printer.

Shipping about 200 cups to Korea... Who woulda thunk it!?!

That is amusing! Like the old "coal to Newcastle" thing. What is the story?

I just started working with a ^5 laguna that I took to ^6. got some translucency. but not overall. Guess I need to go thinner. Help
-
Going with the original question .. which Laguna clay are you trying to get translucent?? Not all Cone 5/6 porcelain will be no matter how you fire them.

Yesterday I sat down to do some editing of my website ... and could not find it. Gone. Not in my time machine backups, not anywhere on my disc, gone from the application. LUCKILY, it is still live online ... do not ask me how that happens. The help people offered a way to retrieve all my data from the online site but I have to go in and re-configure and edit since it does not refine anything. My site is over 100 pages so I will be here for a while. I have decided to treat it like a bad...

i just found a copy of it on an old computer ... maybe a couple years old but better than doing it all from scratch ... now just have to figure out how to transfer it. ;-)

... like a bad kiln load and just keep moving forward. Create and re-load.

I just found out that all of our work is fired reduction by default. I also found out that only Soldate 60 and Porcelain are fired to cone 10, everything else is a cone 5 clay but fired to cone 6....I am still confused. I must bother the professor more with the how and why.
-
If you are in the typical group studio you are going to have two firing temps - 6 & 10 and one bisque temp of 06 or 04. This is set in stone so your instructor stays sane. When you get your own kiln you get to do whatever you want. With time you will learn the pros and cons of firing at different temperatures but in a school setting you just have to set limits.

Back in the dark ages when I first started using clay, I don't recall anyone telling me to be sure to photograph finished work...see, it is ALL their fault
-
Oh yeah ... And images on floppy discs. Really useful.
Throw money at someone to convert them all.

Good thing you didn't waste your time ... I have hundreds of slides ... even I don't want to sort them!

I finally found the combination of glazes and schedule that was alluding me for a pot I made a while back that I really liked. I think I will be able to replicate it now on all my work, it still will take some application practices but heres hoping I am finally set on my glazes for a while. Only took 1.5 years of testing glazes to find the combination I wanted....
-
Bravo to you! Another overnight success. : - )
-
-
With about 90 minutes left in a glaze firing we had a neighborhood power failure that lasted 2 1/2 hours. I just restarted the kiln and crossing my fingers.
-
Worst case is that you get AMAZING results that you can never duplicate! Good luck.
-
-
Finished another glaze Friday-now firing my 3rd glaze kiln load of this year
-
Yes, should we congratulate you on slowing down?

Haven't been here in awhile. Seeing what everyone's been up to.

Welcome back ... we have been mostly behaving ourselves!

My husband was on TV yesterday for the NSF news conference in brownsville, Tx re; the discovery of Gravitational Waves. He works at the Center for Gravitational Waves Astronomy. He is still very excited by the discovery.

Great day for thinkers! Einstein was so right.

Great bird watching in the back yard: Osprey, Anhinga, Egrets, three types of heron, Rosiette Spoonbill, and Ibis, Green-winged Teals, Coots, Cormorants. All this is very distracting but exciting to watch.

We are getting an arctic blast moving in, so my robins are going to regret their early arrival!

Our migrating flock of robins arrived this week ... Thousands of robins eating at this rest stop

I peeked in the kiln, which is too hot to unload. Entire top shelf is ruined. Don't know about the rest yet.

Take notes! You learn more from disaster than you do from success. A huge percentage of us have been in your shoes ... Best wishes!!

an archaeologist friend of mine is currently working on the relocation of southeastern Indian tribes based on cerarefevidence. After the collapse of the chiefdom societies the tribes dispersed in all directions leaving a trail of ceramic debris. The timeline is from 1050 to 1700 CE!

Hearing that always makes me worry about what they will say about my shard piles!

I have been on the forum for roughly a month now. I must say it is an honor to see the works of so many talented and gifted people. The willingness to share knowledge and information is also commendable. Just thought it needed to be said.

I think pottery is an area where your vista is constantly expanding ... The more you learn, the less you know for sure. The narrower your focus, the wider your possibilities.

May I have your prayers and good vibes one more time, my friends? Tomorrow Friday, very early in the morning, I'll have my second hand surgery (left hand). I hope everything goes as well as the right hand did. Thank you all!
-
We are with you in spirit! Best wishes.

I started taking pictures of my latest kiln load yesterday, some new things are in my gallery if anyone wants to see!
-
Nice work!

All things are possible with patience and tenacity.

I've got places to go and things to do,...and, oh ... What is that shiny thing? :-)
