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

Love this part where there's only a hundred degrees or so until I can lift the lid on the kiln!

slow day on the forum. Guess people are going on holiday.

Hey y'all! How's everyone else doing? I finally have GREAT news! My beloved husband's cancer is finally reacting to the chemo therapy that his oncologist has put him on. Third time's the charm, eh!?! YAY!!

Firing another celadon test, progressing right along to perfect surfaces. On another note, just had the best throwing night of my life. Out of body experience, blissfulness and peace. Was freaking amazing.

I put a video of some Korean carving and Buncheong process in the Buncheong thread. Always fun to watch a master at work. Has anyone seen this?

Two hours at work with nothing to do. Good thing I brought the potters dictionary to read

I just replaced all 12 elements. Should I fire empty or with a load?

Cremating my cat in gas kiln today

Nice to know I am still learning.

New cute avatar, heehee!

100 degrees in the studio. 115 degrees put side. And trying to get my kiln fixed. Waiting on parts, again. I think maybe the heats getting to me. I told my wife I wanted to quit.

Spent 30 minutes this afternoon weighing and wedging clay to throw after my son's bedtime. Only he got sick so instead of throwing clay I dealt with throw up.

Score!! A potter in NH is selling off most of her studio, so I got myself over a $100 (retail) worth of tools for $15. Yee haw!

Two glaze fires cooling today

5th night in a row firing. I will figure out this celadon thickness if its the death of my elements.

Making a 15" bowl:

I'm SO HAPPY with my red pie plate! New photos in the gallery, take a peek.

last week I went online to order a pottery book. After ordering Kilns, by Rhodes, Backyard Kilns, and Ceramics-Mastering the Craft, did I realize I forgot to order the intended book! One thing can be said about forgetfulness, it gets better with time!

I tweaked my web site a bit more-a lot of of work, need descriptions, a shopping cart, and much more stuff. Probably shouldn't have published it yet, but oh well!

Day 3 of playhouse construction for the grand-kiddos...I'm thinking it needs a gargoyle just to get me back into the studio

Two glaze fires cooling for spring gallery needs

Why is it so hard to find a direction...
