Trying to decide if I should go through the submission process for another event (ArtFairSC)...struggling/questioning my objective.

Hmm...will do, Chris. Great idea!
-
heard an NPR interview about competitions in Music. final analysis, can't take the judging too seriously.
-
Marcia, I think it really depend on the adjudicator...quality runs the gamut from critically constructive to sleazy silly.
-
Firing is done....must let it cool before opening. Must let it cool. MUST let it cool. Hmm, I'm seeing a pattern here
-
Baby sitting the Bailey car kiln on campus today...always a little nervous about firing student work.
-
I switched spayers...and being able to switch back-and-forth between glazes, quickly, is rocking my world.
-
I just completed a week of study at Arrowmont with Sandy Blain and a bunch of enthusiastic clay people. I have much to process
-
Studio at school has a new toy...and I have to admit that Peter Pugger is my new, best friend
-
Nursing a little tendonitis and a muscle spasm...has me sitting in front of the TV handbuilding masks. I'm considering it practice time for figurative expression, wherever those might show up.
-
Hope you feel better ASAP! I had a client ask for masks back when I was considering it. But my work took a direction of its own.
Best healing,
Terri

The pond project is pretty well done...and how the studio is such a mess is beyond me. I have managed to get some wedging done and that is a positive sign!
-
June will be recorded as a bust for me in terms of clay production, but I will have a great pond to sit by as I work...anxious to get my hands muddy again though.
-
Time to quit procrastinating and get a dozen shadow boxes built...starting tomorrow

Procrastinating - a bit like manyana. Why do today, what you could do tomorrow.
-
Evelyne, Chilly... exactly. Why rush into a task that is perfectly suited tomorrow *snicker* (you two are NO help...and I love ya for that!)
-
<big grin<
-
Last glaze firing of the semester begins candling this evening. So, a Saturday of babysitting grandbaby is replaced with a day of babysitting Beowulf (the Bailey car kiln)...a love-hate thing, I suppose
-
A few people expressed an interest in my experiments with LaserJet decals. I just posted a before and after images in a gallery titled "LaserJet Decals"...including information on where to get the decal paper.

Nice! thanks for sharing! I have a brother laser printer, I'm tempted to try it and see if there is enough iron in it's ink to work.
-
Thanks all! I appreciate the comments. Min, there are MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) available for just about every laser printer cartridge. The MSDS will say something like less than 50% iron oxide...and that will definitely work.
-
I use the cheapo knockoff cartridge, MSDS was useless, think I'll just give it a try. (Or I could stop being cheap and buy the
name brand one if it's MSDS looks okay)
-
After a year of procrastinating, I finally printed my first batch of HP LaserJet decals, got them on test pots over the weekend, and am firing them today. Keeping my fingers crossed.
-
Just one-third of the way through the term and my sanity may depend on the closest ball of stoneware I can get my hands on...gotta have a clay 'fix' soon!
-
Back to the classroom for 8 weeks wearing my uncomfortable instructor hat... clay and forums will have to wait, but it is a 'separation' not a 'divorce'. Later, ya'll!
-
I think the kiln gods woke me up to tell me I put too much silica in the last batch of glaze I mixed up...'just see if I ever eat pizza again before bedtime!
-
If there weren't children watching, I'd like to show this winter what a single digit looks like...should we have a show of hands? *grin*
-
I'm ok with winter as long as I don't get too much on bare skin - rain, snow, frostbite
-
Reminds me when fluoro lights flickered we got the kids to all point at it, polite point!!!, and sometimes the magic worked and the flicker went away! SO if everyone..... perhaps you would get summer!
Be careful what you wish for..
-
Babs...'love the kids pointing story! It isn't that I don't like winter..but THIS winter has not played nice with these ole bones
-
-
One of this pick-up-and-lay-down projects turned out to be a piece I simply couldn't seem to 'lay down'...kind of a focus on lack of focus thing when the clay is tallking to you
-
this pick-up = "those pick-up"...what I get for typing without that 2nd cup of coffee.
-
-
Feels good to be back in the studio without the need for long underwear...yeah, I know, TMI

Summer times nice to get into back after a day and hose down to get rid of all of the mud!
-
haha preston!!
-
I had this flash of "clothing optional potter"...but realized that I had just poked myself in the eye *grin*
-
Still cool in the studio, but not too cool to have fun re-claiming clay from slop...such fun! (not)
-
My students complain about doing it, in my seventy degree classroom, partially because I probably just dumped the full slip bucket in the reclaim bin.....To be fair, I do pour the water off the top of the slip first.
-
Reclaiming slop is not my favorite thing to do. But once I have a 5 gallon bucket nearly full, I blunge it with a heavy-duty drill with a drywall mud mixer attachment. I still manage to procrastinate a bit after that, but the paste-like mix converts/dries nicely to usable clay.
-
5gallons? I do it every day, when I'm at the centre, usually two or three "throwings-worth".
-
-
I still haven't printed any decals...I must be 'stuck' on the concept of 'sticking on'.
