      Raku pieces for Houston, and some show pieces for San Antonio and Columbus.

    Big storms last night. Glad I finished the raku. Bad storms and flooding in Texas,

      Yikes!! Are you okay? D:

    been fighting wind all week. This morning in a lull I hope ti finish firing my raku pieces before a week of wind gusts and thunderstorms.

      It's crazy windy up here, too. My living room window was open and one of the blind thingies broke off from the wind knocking them around all crazy.

  4. Marcia Selsor

    weather is stirring up. I still have seven pieces of raku to fire., but now I will start rolling slabs and then start throwing

  5. Marcia Selsor

    reglazed or touched up some of my pieces from my "disastrous" Saturday. It wasn't really all that bad. The pyrometer worked this morning during a firing. I only lost one piece and that was old. I wasn't upset about it.

      They were beautiful. My favorite was the heron with the reflection in the water. I could go on for days about all the reasons I like it.

      Big slabs are ready to fire. First batch is already in the kiln. I have about 8 to fire today.

    A few more raku firings to go to finish what is in my studio.

      Some day, would love to revisit raku, but your Obvira interests me the most!

  7. Marcia Selsor

    the smoke from the Yucatan is gone with a strong cool front from the north. Perfect weather to finish all my raku pieces.

  8. Marcia Selsor

    Faced a new learning curve for my airmen. Need thicker glaze.

    1. Marcia Selsor

      Marcia Selsor

      Air Pen

  9. Marcia Selsor

    Por fin! I finally get to finish a lot of raku pieces with the new air pen. I hope it works as well as I think it will.

      not pig pen. It is a slip trailer of sorts with a tiny compressor so the grip is loose. Should make continuous likes without getting cramps.

    The Air Pen I purchased at NCECA arrived yesterday. Can't wait to use it on my raku luster lines.

      Did you get a cold in the plane? In any case, get well soon. Drink hot water with honey and lemon juice in it. Gurgle with saltwater! Hugs!

      I still have some orders to come. Still basking in the afterglow of over stimulation of NCECA.

    Taking the long way home...NCECAI, then family in NY and now train to friends in Philadelphia. Will be home on Tues night.

  15. Marcia Selsor

    In Providence, RI. Saw some great pots today at Friends of Fire Show at Chris Gustin's studio plus the unloading of pots at his Anagama kiln. NCECA begins!,,

      Officially envious :)

  16. Marcia Selsor

    Flying out at 5 am. looking forward to seeing many many old friends and some new ones. NCECAI is like a Rite of Spring...an infusion of creative energy in an assembly of like minded creative clay people. I am so looking forward to seeing everyone and as many shows and talks I can manage.

    1. Evelyne Schoenmann

      Evelyne Schoenmann

      I'am sure you already are in Providence by now. See you soon!

  17. Marcia Selsor

    getting ready for NCECA. Anyone got a clue what the weather will be like for the next 2 weeks. I am visiting family nearby and will be there until after Easter. How to pack for this squirrelly year!

    1. Pres

      Most forecasts show mid 40 to low 50. Heavy rain on Thursday. Night time temps just above or at 32F. Looks like I will have a rain coat, hat, and winter coat. I get cold.

    2. Marcia Selsor

      Marcia Selsor

      Thanks. Is there still snow on the ground? I looked at a webcam last week and there was a lot. Raincoat and layers.

      crusty,

      that brings back memories! I will post a few of yesterday's results in my gallery.I love Obvara!

       

       

  19. Marcia Selsor

    nothing like wanting to work in the studio as an impetus to get the taxes done!!

  20. Marcia Selsor

    Thursday there will be sun!

  21. Marcia Selsor

    Ready for a week of heavy rains. I know it isn't what many of you are suffering right now, but I need sunshine in the winter.

    1. kswan

      kswan

      My arms are sore from shoveling the 6 inches of snow we got yesterday, but the sun is shining today at least. :)

    2. Denice

      Denice

      You can just send that rain to KS. We are still in a drought. I would give up our first week of sunshine for rain.

  22. Marcia Selsor

    One day, today, of a hot blast from the Yucatan, then the Siberian express comes back tomorrow night. When will this settle down to normal.

    1. Pres

      Pres

      Yeah, consider yourself blessed at this point. I am dealing with 1" of ice on my double wide sidewalks I do, 100 yards.

      Yikes, Pres! O.o... Haha, Marcia's in Texas, that state has some wild weather. It's in the mid-40s and sunny here! Perfect for a guinea. :)

  23. Marcia Selsor

    spent a dreary day reorganizing kiln shed , and one corner of the studio.Threw some saggars, and recycled some clay. Made chicken soup just because so many people have the flu. I made it just in case..

      Any time you want to come to my studio and re-organize, build a saggar or two, and re-cycle clay...just come on down! (I'll furnish the chicken soup) Deal?? *grin*

      I like hot chicken soup on a cold day when I'm healthy. Soup loses it's

      taste if you have the flu...might as well be drinking rock soup! When I

      go to any store and hear someone coughing up a left lung on isle 3, I leave.

      If the food is free, it isn't worth 4 weeks of influenza. Let's break bread

      over a homemade ceramic bowl of soup while healthy.

    Two Alternative Firing Workshops in Sept. in Las Cruces, NM and Lawrence, KS are shaping up to be really exciting. Obvara will be part of both.
