  1. Currently contemplating how many yarn jars I can throw to avoid writing an artist's statement.

      This may lead to a negative artist outcome!!

      Throw you bowls whilst honing your statement, only do this if the throwing is coming easy today!

      I have never thrown a yarn bowl but have written and told a few yarns

      Probably three times as many pie plates as I can make to avoid folding laundry.

      For à thriller you'd like Shadow of a Doubt (Alfred Hitchcock). And Dial M for Murder. For comedy, The Lady Killers w/Peter Sellers.

  6. I am converting to the Dark Side for the summer! The gas kiln I work out of is closed for two months, so I will give some dark midfire stoneware a go. Kinda like an artist residency, but at home.

      Thanks guys! Application is in. I did the spring show that the same organizer runs, and I was pleased with the results. The Christmas version has twice the attendance though...hence the nerves.

      My boyfriend and I had this game we started playing when we got together--we'd go to thrift stores and walk to the section with dishes. He'd point to something and say, "What's that?!" And without skipping a beat, I'd be all like, "Reduction-fired buff stoneware," or "Slip-cast porcelain." He'd laugh so hard and wonder how the heck I could just spit the answers out like that. :D

  14. I'm trying to find a relatively recent thread where people were talking about adding things to glaze to make it brushable, and things like acrylic medium, glycerine and floetrol were mentioned. Anyone remember which one it

  15. I should know better than to do shows Ina church, no matter how nice the neighbourhood. Sold 3 whole pieces today.

      This is one thing, yes :). All my friends and neighbours are wanting to see the new stuff, so I may just have an impromptu open house, and post a few items on etsy. I have a bigger sale Dec 12-14, and I have better hopes for that one.

  16. Just got my kiln load back!! 30 cubic ft of work, and no major errors! Pics to come.

  17. That's just a rolled bottom with my thumb print 4 times. But it's kinda fun and funky!
  18. These are lettered because they're a shot I made of rough sketches for a client. I posted them here because someone was curious. But thank you for the offer, Phil. And I am having fun Babs:)
