Joseph Fireborn got a reaction from Roberta12 in dropped my bison trimming tool that I have had and used for 9 years.
I know! I emailed him immediately, but it looks like his etsy shop is closed and his facebook hasn't been updated in a while. I am guessing maybe he is out of the business or has moved on?
I saw a lot of people on Etsy are now selling the same type of tool, but his craft was so good. Hard to accept moving on!

Hi Joesph I was wandering how your test firing came out. I did a test firing a couple of weeks ago and it was a real bummer. I turned on my heater today to get my studio warm enough to get some work done. Our dog is on the mend, but I am the one with a problem now. My doctor found a aggressive skin cancer on my face, I am trying to fight my way through the doctors. I want the best treatment for me, right now I am still on the tread mill to surgery. Denice

Same ole same ole. Classic White Glaze. Although I made a slight adjustment and did half the tinox and half the rio. I can add the rest after the test firing.
Everything went smooth although I almost really badly messed up haha.

I did a small planting this year. 5 okra, 5 bigboy tomato, 5 sakura tomato, 5 cucumber. Should be more than enough to feed us and some neighbors. They are already in the ground I sprouted them from seed in the studio a while ago. About 12'' tall now. Okra is starting to produce as well as the Sakuras. It will be hot in Georgia in a month!
As far as what kept me away, a few things. My job was killing my shoulder and pottery was just adding to it. On top of that I had a 3rd son, and started a business during the pandemic. Spent about 2 years working 60+ hours a week between my job and my business. I left my job back in the end of January and haven't looked back. Thankfully my shoulder is on the mend now and doesn't hurt all day and night anymore.
I think I am going to focus on making jars for the forseeable future. I love making cups and such, but for some reason I am just drawn to making lidded jars right now. Go to go where the heart calls.

Ow that sounds like that could cause a lot of problems, our friend carried a heavy mailbag for 35 years. When I was 20 I worked in a dental lab and had to stand on a ladder and lift a 25 lb bag of plaster over my head and dump it in the plaster bin. They finally gave the job to a man, it was causing to much commotion with the other workers. The other women didn't think I should do that job and the men would look up my skirt (uniform). I don't think that type of work did long term damage to me, I am 70 and have MS and can still pick up a 25lb bag of clay off the floor with one hand. I laid out my mural yesterday, I have to remake quite a few tiles. It is three dimensional and is a landscape of Arizona so getting a good fit has been quite challenging. Denice

Glad to hear that you have a new focus on your throwing. I am still wondering what my next focus will be when I am finished with the mural I have been working on. I am unloading the last of the bisque today, I going to lay it out and make sure all of the pieces fit before I glaze. Be careful with that shoulder my husband's best friend just had major shoulder surgery, he is a retired mailman. Denice

I know the feeling...It's planting time for me. I have about another week to get my veggies and seeds in the ground. Then it's a waiting game for everything to grow up and produce during which time I'll be spending more time in the studio.
What have you been doing for the last 2 years to keep you away from the pottery?

oh, don't worry, joseph, your notes will turn up about 10 minutes after you unload the kiln.

Have to admit I've made that mistake more than once.
