Nice. Can't wait to see them.

good to see you are still making pots

Your hooked now!!!

Good luck! and may the odds & ends be in your favor

Let's see... Winter months, I believe the correct offering is one ground hog, and a cup of hot cocoa...

How did things turn out?

Why did the Hydria explode? A spot thicker than expected? Firing too soon? What's wrong with the trees?

I have had some pieces come out kind of wonky lately, I think it's some kind of virus going around.

So sorry for the Hydra! That was some awesome piece. Sit down and start anew sweetie!

Real Estate law?

I have to get my real estate license to supplement pottery sales

sounds like a plan.

I'm still firing my Raku kiln off a weed burner. It works great! Rebekah, are the Raku and sculpture going to be separate projects, or are you doing sculptural Raku?

seperate projects. Sculpture is my main desire but I have been meaning to try my first raku. I want to make pet urns in raku as one of my hopefully consumable products.

Thanks for that- I have this HUGE piece of styrofoam I found on the street and i plan to cut it into a base/ armture for a sculpture

Do you have a show coming up Rebekah?

I find I always underestimate how long it will take to load the kiln. A couple weekends ago we did my dad's huge kiln and small kiln one right after the other. Working together it took five hours JUST to load. And my back was killing me! Hopefully the results make it all worthwhile for you.

Thanks for the compliment ben. I just have a small obsession with turkey vultures. It's really for my own enjoyment. THey always seem to fly overhead during big positive turns in my life or when I need confirmation for something I am doing. I read about them in animal speak and really identify with the symbolism.

Interesting, especially considering that usually when you see turkey vultures, something positive definitely didn't happen.

For them it did haha

fingers crossed!

Waiting is the hardest!

I posted my update in the original thread. Some good some bad I think.

Don't count your chickens till they are glazed ;D Good luck with the orders.

Kinda off-topic, but your icon pot makes me drool like Homer Simpson. Any more of those scheduled in the future? :3

Go Rebekah, Go!!! I know this feeling!

Your stuff is rad!

Constant quality control . . . you know, testing each stein full of beer until the beer tastes just right.

I do need to do that- test each one out! I do not know how to post the current ones and the new unfired ones? (in gallery) anyone know how?

Click on drop down by your name click my gallery follow direction

schedule 1rst thing- Coffee/Tea go from there== seriously , I didt see any flower pots on your showing pictures.. It kind of slapped me In the face and a light bulb came on.. flower pots might be a great way to incorporate your sculpture work..

we're waiting!

Thanks!! I just finished my show.

Good luck with your show!

little toe first!

Just jump in the waters fine, start a bob bucket. ( bottom of barrel). Basically a glaze slop bucket......

my last test of the slop glaze was lovely. No idea how to make any more tho'

no - I just turned it on medium for a cone 05

A little candling never hurt....

Those closed forms seem to take forever to dry. Agree with Benzine about candling them.

right as always Ben

As far as my students are concerned, yes I am always right. In reality.....

Rebekah, I guess you already knows: The greatest pleasure lies in the anticipation!

<giggle>

Happy firing Rebekah! I have a glaze fire going in the kiln...

Ooh exciting Evelyne!! Hopefully you post some pictures of your kiln opening? My firing went good. Now I get to glaze.

Yes, finally caught some warmth and hung my hummingbird feeder ... They might still be in Florida but I need to see the feeder!

make sure you are sitting in the best position ergonomically.

I am trying to keep a strait line from my neck to my back. But I have to lean forward with it too.. it's difficult. I think If I wore a back brace maybe it would keep my posture more aligned when throwing.

Couldn't you just elevate the wheel a bit? Not fun having back ache!! Please take care.

Congrats and good job!

Congratulations. You've got me beat in sales already...

Congrats!!
