Marko

I've been veeeeeeeery slow to get this going. I have been spending more time making stuff. Who knows, maybe they will come and do it for "Great Marko Antonio," oh snap, I was dreaming, LOL. I guess it will get done one day. Don't sweat it. You will find what's right for you when it is right.

I'm still undecided whether this IS right for me ....

I don't like the fee. It bothers me that they could, at a future date, require me to pay for the Pro, which is needed in order to sell on Amazon. I believe it is 39.95 per month. Gesh, I would have to sell a lot to justify paying that. So, I have decided to continue making new stuff, stocking it for shows after I have at least 200 - 500 pieces. I know that's not much, but it's a goal, for now. I have always folled my gut feelings, and Amazon just doestn't fit in right now. I s...

Hey Marko (blushing), you are such a kind friend! People write me emails and p.m.'s to wish me luck for the surgery. With so many friends thinking of me, nothing can go wrong. Thank you from all my heart!!

I am glad. You are a wonderful person. I am so glad they are writing you. I will be looking forward to your full recovery. Sending you more blessing than you need. You can always share the leftovers when you get better.

Thank you! I just p.m.'d you. HUGS

I threw some pots today, but I didn't push it. I had soreness, and now it's throbbing. I wanted to catch up here so I'll just ice it in a little bit. Thanks all. Never been to a raku in the tropics, but wouldn't it be lovely?

Get well soon Marko. Is it helping though, the shot? In 3 days I have to do carpal tunnel surgery. Think of me please.

Thank you Evelyne, today I am feeling much better. And I will think health and healing thoughts for you in my meditation. I know you will do well and you will be making many more wonderful artworks. I know it will be difficult, but you are a strong person and recovery will be easy for you. Just take it easy on yourself. Marko

It worked. Yea, Thanks Joel.

No problem

Lol it took me a really long time and lots of tries before I figured out I could do it this way.

I really appreciate the info so it doesn't come as a surprise. I have some thinking to do.

I am checking it out, but maybe not so fast.

Yeahh ... I need to know whether they're claiming a right to our designs. They sent me the invite today so I'm going to carefully read everything.

Thanks vinks. I am feeling much better. I will be in my studio tomorrow.

Whooohoo!

Whooohoo!

Their weekend arts business seminars are excellent.

Good for you Claygram. We all must find what is best for us.

Wish I could attend a seminar Chris, but I'm way to far. Glad you can.

Freudian slip.

Yup.

Thanks Evelyne, it was corticosteroid. No surgery need yet. My PA said it's at an early stage, so will just monitor it for now, with some follow ups. The pains not to bad.

Glad you got some relief.

Thanks Marcia. It still gets numb at times, but the pain has subsided. Amen!

Talk to a therapist or google hand exercises to relieve the pain.Stretching individual fingers back one at a time, placing the hand flat on a table face down pull up each finger. there are more.

my hubby had it and yes it was tingling. he had a nerve test to confirm and surgery on each hand. a permanant fix. see a hand specialist.

I had surgery on both hands in 1982. I can get the tingling again but I give myself a break, exercise the wrist bends and finger stretches.

Good on you Amy. That's the positive mental atitude we all need.

Here in Switzerland it's rainy and cold. Temps in the 64 F... (sad Smilie here)

Evelyne, please send some of that cool down my way.

what a great feeling!

Bravo Marko! Now on to making new pieces.

Yes indeed.

When I decide to make a friend something, It's the Kiss of Death for that vessel. To get around it I pretend I'm making it for no

reason...then give it away. :>)

Naw, she loves it, alabama. But I am trading, two platters for some promo pictures, a link on her site and endorsements.
