Well, I have expereinced my first disappointing fire-my own doing-nothing wrong with anything technical, just about half of the resulting designs arfe not what I had hoped for; adjustments will be made!
-
It happens to everyone, you just have to learn from it. Good luck with the next firing.

I have cried over kiln loads. I'm sorry! As long as you figure out what didn't work and what will work better, you'll get better (or at least different) results next time, hopefully closer to what you wanted. One of my designs has taken two years to get where is now and I'm still tweaking it.
You'll get there!

Not happy, not happy. I went to change my profile picture and no matter what I do---and yes, I have read and tried suggestions/instructions from this site--it will not "take" anything, including my original pic. Phooey.

LeeU, are you trying to use your new logo as your avatar? If so, then I think your image is too large at 2300 pixels wide. Try uploading a smaller version. It only needs to be about 300 pixels wide.

Still failed ...contacted an administrator.

Somewhat slow going, since the guy assisting me with my web design/development is doing it pro bono (i.e. no charge-he owes me LOL) but it's off to a good start and I am psyched about making a functional site with an online store.

Ggorgeous! Looks like you have been doing this kind of work for years! -
Taking small, managable, bites---I am finding I do much better work if I consciously limit my times & tasks to the time it takes for any body part or cluster of brain cells to start to be uncomfortable. "Quit while you are ahead" is my new daily mantra!

That is also my new mantra.

My former small business ofmany years was called Two Steps Forward (as in...one step back), so I guess some of what I learned from that focus was not to try to move too fast LOL.

Move as your feel comfortable with. And then move again. Or wax on, wax off.

Guilty also ... never hit on an inspiring design and then just lost focus in the midst of many other attention-grabbers in the studio & the not-studio (daily life). I could keep going with the excuses, but basically just wimped out & dropped the ball. -
Pleased to report my sister was happy with her honey jar set (jar, 1 spoon, 1 dripper, tiny spoon rest, cone burner with bee imprint). I need much more practivce though--it was not what I was originally aiming for, which was to throw the piece, not handbuild it. Need to stretch!

It was beautiful!!

Love this one, especially! They are all so simple and elegant looking. Nice!!
You'll get there!
