260 pots glazes today, firing an untested glaze on all of them. Flying by the seat of my pants.

Been on a pottery hiatus due to some frustrations. Diving back in today!

First time on the wheel for 5 1/2 months. Collarbone held up well. Shame about throwing skills (or lack of).

I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of this pulled handles business!

Raining. Again.

Posted 6 teapots on the blog today, videos turned out well

Big bisque load in last night, 8 teapots, mugs, chalices, mortar and pestles, lot of stuff to glaze this week during the warmer 60F. days.

I think I'm gonna play more with black and white on terracotta. Gotta make holiday gifts for my loved ones (maybe replace the stinky mug my mom has...). ♥

I don't know why it took me so long to embrace the idea of: Make what I love, and find people to buy it. I have been struggling with it for way to long.

I should make a shirt: "Glazed and Confused"

Has anyone ever had shoulder problems from throwing? Like bursitis or rotator cuff issues? My buddy tore the crap out of his making macho-pottery & needed surgery. Mine are KILLIN'. I wanna throw! ;.;

Weekend One of the tour was so much fun! I'm not even tired although my feet hurt. I feel like I had friends over all weekend (which for me is heaven). Already inspired for new work and feeling a little silly for my pre-show jitters Friday night.

Studio Tour is tomorrow and I wasn't even nervous till about an hour ago, when suddenly "Who am I kidding?" popped into my head. All I can see is the mistakes and the simple beginner's shapes and I just want to call the whole thing off!!

How in the world do people on Amazon Handmade, that just opened today, get so many reviews? And the reviews are pre setup.
