  1. Up to my ears in packing peanuts today. I hate peanuts. Actually, "hate" is not a strong enough word.

      Even the static free, cornstarch ones are a nuisance.

  2. Getting back into pottery this coming week. I haven't touched clay in almost 2 months now.

  3. Wheek! Miss me? ♥ I got the clay bug again after months of pouting. :)

  4. Bought an 8" Samsung tablet last week but came to the true realization that I have no use for it. It's being returned tomorrow...

  5. Spent the last two days cleaning the studio. Everything is shiny and smells like apple-scented Fabuloso. Today I spilled some glaze on the clean floor and was like "NOOOOOOOO!!"

      Mine looks like a bomb hit it. 2nd of 4 Christmas shows begins this Friday. All of them are out of my studio, so cleanup will come at the end.

  6. So is there a realistic weight of clay to pull certain height cylinders and does it depend on the skill more than the clay? I swear some clays are so difficult to pull up and others want to reach for the sky.

  7. going to Montana this weekend to close on our house. VERY EXCITED!!!

  8. I'm just now getting on the screenprinting bandwagon for transfers...and the CriCut option for making silkscreen masks is a game changer...yep, that's all I need...another ADHD design option #smh

  9. My reorg just keeps getting better. I found many small containers of clay to reclaim that I did not even know I had, my muscle guy is interested in doing some grunt work, and my landlord made me risers for greenware drywall boards that triple the available space.

  10. I have made my Christmas production list, and am now terrified...

      I like the list too. I now just have to break it into manageable tasks and time blocks. Then it becomes less daunting.

  12. I was pouring glaze over the outside of some little tumblers the other day. I used a small sour cream container lid to shield the bottom from glaze. Worked pretty well.

  13. Man, did you know that uncooked corn on the cob is so good? I love it. No salt or butter needed. Very sweet yellow organic corn. Yum.

      Cut the fresh stuff off the cob and make salsa! Yum.

  14. This semester I'm starting the transition from Cone 10 reduction to Cone 6...is that like moving to "the dark side"? :)

      I did this last year. I thought it would be a fun little claycation while the kiln shed was repaired...totally a shift to the dark side, especially if you switch to red clay!

  15. Was doing a forum search on rare eath oxides such as Yttrium, Holium, and Samarium: wonder why these never came up in topics before?

      Accessibility is an issue, only people I know in Canada that work with rare earths picked up their supplies at NCECA. Most of the supply gets eaten up by those producing batteries and magnets.

      And I think you're well on your way to what you're looking for. Some good results there.

      You can get a 30 day free trial of Lightroom. The eye dropper tool fixes all white balance. It is magical.

  20. I just finished a website update today. If anyone has a moment, would you mind giving it a browse for errors, bugs or slow loading photos please? www.dieselclay.com

  21. I must get better/faster at submitting applications for shows...I seem to spend way too much time agonizing over copy edits and photography.

  22. Toronto Pottery Events this summer? I am going to be in Toronto

  24. Went to an online site to buy some materials for "Magic Mud", ended up splurging on a Mudtool sponge and Do All Trim Tool, and a bevel cutter...

  25. NCECA....maybe 2017, Maybe 2018

      Portland is closer for me. I have to see what the Canadisn dollar does, though. Right now I'd pay another 30 cents on the dollar for everything.
