Marcia Selsor

I did focus more on gardening today. Planted pansies and geraniums. BUT I now better than to plant tomatoes too soon. Not yet, Must wait a few weeks.They'll be safe being portable.

Always good to plant flower-ours are in along with tomatoes corn and beans

We have bears and deer plus many turkeys and very short growing season. I hope to get a greenhouse together for the next season. In my old place in Huntley , Montana , I had a huge garden with irrigation. Corn, beans, beets, potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, strawberries, etc. I love gardening. Too many bugs and too hot in Tx. where we lived.Herbs were the only survivors.

Show closes on the 9th

That's a travelling Smithsonian exhibit, right? Did they give any indication where it's heading next?

It should be out in May or so. Will let you know.

I am firing mow. Maybe I can get a few pots done this afternoon. I put off packing because my dogs get upset.

They don't like to see you leaving (again)... :-) Regarding the video: yes please keep me informed. Thanks. Have fun in Milwaukee!

Glad to hear everything is going great

It can be a challenge getting 26 people from point A to point B in a crowded city.

I'm currently VERY jealous. Have a great time.

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*

Love Nashville!

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.

Ha ha. I wish I could slow down. Tomorrow four projects on the house we're selling in TX. replace cracked tiles, fixed garage door opener, and spackle nail holes and paint, and replace a section of broken pipe on the sprinkler system. Hoping to start back to Montana Thursday.

Sounds like you are all but done.

forget the cracked tile replacement. too difficult.

Lots of fans, rotation of pieces, slow bisque.

Happy Cone 11-12 wood firing. Pics later please.

It was porcelain. Babu. I didn't like throwing it but the handles were good. and didn't crack. Very forgiving but I like Colemen better.

Merry Christmas!

furniture not coming til Monday. The house should be even better with furniture!

not the perfect one. we have 3 years til Matt retires.

Made the right choice on location. Great town, lots of friends. Have a show already, invitation to help establish a studio in Billings, lots of fun.

3 more years in the oven-maybe an early retirement is in order ?

That is an early retirement. Believe me, the sooner, the better.

yes. I think that is why I've gone to terra sig lately.

I'm with you, Marcia. I have to force myself to get glazing done.

Guess I am the oddball: I have a very old brent whell out there I have turned on 3-4 times. Watching a wheel spin does not excite me.

Have a great time. You've earned it. Adios Amiga.

Have a great time. You've earned it. Adios Amiga.

Becky, BTDT. Thanks. It is my favorite city in Europe.

Get home safe. And try not to set Kingsville's tornado alarm off this time. LOL And don't forget to wave.

safe travel, seems like you have been on the road for ever!

That doesn't sound very happy. Safe travels and hey, see you soon in Barcelona again. I hope you still like to come...

Ooh, what course are you teaching?

Alternative. Firing includes throwing, forming, kiln building, etc.

check it out on Ceramic Events of Interes. Antoinette made a video interview about it.

Your so blessed.

I know it and I am grateful!

Sorry Professor, You're so blessed. lol.

Nye in Bhutan? Nye in Sweden? Nye in Nevada or some other Nye?

Nye, Montana about 45 minutes away. Beautiful area in the foothills to the Absoroka range. Former mining town now vacation homes. Gallery is only open for summer and this week heavy spring snow knocked out the power.

What I would give to have an extra week right now... busy is an understatement.

Grat's on the safe trip!

Oh the joys of moving. It ranks right up there with glaze running onto shelves.

So glad you made it safely!!

I have seen that video, but not the end where he takes his pots out of the kiln. I like when they are all sitting there together. Amazing work.

I like the wide variety that came out of that kiln. It could have been staged, but it seemed like they were all shapes and sizes.

< saw it!! Cool stuff.

AWESOME!!

woot, woot!

Congrats Marcia!

Great workshop. I'm getting things organized so I can start experimenting with several of these processes. Thanks for the workshop

I agree that it was a great workshop - I learned a TON! And it was great to meet new people.

I loved the photos from your workshop!

Drive safe!

Have a great time. Wish I could go.

Hit some blinding rain, but other than that smooth sailing through West Texas ZZZZZZ met up with an old friend for dinner in El Paso.Weather is great..dryness!

Ruhroh! This could be dangerous! Just kidding! Looking forward to your QoTW, Marcia.

oh, Amy!

What would be the danger, Amy?

Marcia, the pictures don't load, either in the preview, or if I click on them.

http://community.ceramicartsdaily.org/topic/9640-ceramics-in-tuscany-v/page-2#entry87925 I can see them and bciskepottery liked them.

Try again.

Weird. Your direct link worked, but if I try and go through your profile, into your gallery, they still don't load.

Great work as usual, by the way.

Can't wait to see your pics.

yep, love the foil saggar stuff. we wanna see!

I'll post some tomorrow. I have a few more batches. Then wax them after they dry.I keep referring the ones that need a little more color.

different colour scheme for each stool?

no the same and I did match the top of the slab roller cart with a fresh coat of plum wine paint!

must give you a smile and a burst of energy to have such vibrant equipment. I know just giving my workroom a thorough cleaning makes me more energetic : )

Are you doing another Obvara batch? Happy and safe firing!

I have to wait for some cold fronts to pass before I mix the brew. So I made some more pots with big crackled surfaces.

Can't wait to see more results!
