It's 3:50am. I'm wide-awake. It's cold outside. Shall I go and play with real clay, or just YouTube?

Off the blog for two weeks. I sent my Mac to the Mechanic. Then forgot my password.

I'll have to wait until late evening to open the latest gas firing...unless I can find a little robot-guy in a fire suit to squeeze through a peep hole and broadcast pictures from inside...OK, so I still get excited to see new work, so shoot me ! *grin*

Had a week solo as my husband went to a Physics conference at the Aspen Center for Physics. I had a few issues with technical things around the house but all is well now and he is back home.

I've already fired kilns 3 times this year. Usually bisque twice and glaze twice per year and that's it. I'm cranking stuff out this year!'.

I am starting to really like slab constructed mugs...with all this practice, one might conclude that I "under-stein" the process *groan*

I have three kilns. Hoarding much? xD Plans for a gas conversion in the old one. Now to find my Olsen book

another 39deg C still outta there!

Just so you know... a sharpened needle tool, when knocked off a countertop, can put a hole in one's foot. No need to try this for yourself, trust me

Back from Cuba! Brrrr. I'm cold!

Gone to Cuba for a week.

John Britt's new book is stopping me from doing housework :-)

Gotta love this time of year. Help students finish building their projects, go home to work on Christmas gifts, go back to school to fire the kiln, go home to work on gifts...

Getting packed and ready for my sale this weekend. Does anyone else get stage fright for these things?

Fired raku this morning. Done by 10. deliver at 12.

I seem to be stuck in my work. Nothing feels like it is working, nothing feels good. I need a plan.

Happy Thanksgiving! I count my friends here on the forum as something to be 'thankful for'.

Still working, but now the garage is COLD! I am trimming the colored clay pots and trying to find a way to trim the insides to see the color results. The trimmings are gorgeous!

Did a Raku Firing with my Art Club students yesterday. A good time was had, great results, despite it being the coldest temperature we had fired in.

Cold and damp. Glaze taking ages to dry. Bye bye summer :-(

New wood fired pieces in gallery, ANAGAMA treats! !!!!

studio and garage have turned into an assembly line of gallery prepping. Painting will begin tomorrow on the frames and an 18 piece series on immigration.

Firing is done....must let it cool before opening. Must let it cool. MUST let it cool. Hmm, I'm seeing a pattern here
