Hell week is over.

Finally, I can get back to the studio and do some hand work! Tomorrow (unless I’m forgetting something) I’ll be taking pictures of all the mugs that came out of the kiln.

Well, other than my little experiments. Those I already have pictures of. Oh, how I love how they came out!

The salt kiln-

April 8, 2008 at 2:04 pm (About my process, Etsy Mud Team)

I’m getting ready for a salt kiln firing.  I only am garunteed 12 pieces, but i’m hoping for more.  Unfortunately, with-out that garuntee, I can’t glaze with salt-kiln centered glazes.  How horrible for me.  :p  

 

Honestly, I don’t know what I want out of this kiln, other than some good growths to use as a backdrop for my creatures.    I’m not a fan of Brown.  I’m actually a bit annoyed by ceramics tendency to be a “study in brown.”  I mean, geeze, people.  After 3,000 years I would hope that we would stretch for more.   Of course then I’m confronted with really bright and hideously plastic looking glazes.  *sighs*  A girl can’t win cans she?  ;)    So we’ll see what comes out, and I’ll just enjoy the ride.  

Anyhow, I’m going to be sharing with you today some salt fired pieces from the Mud Team.    (lets see if this works)

I’ve had some recient sucesses out of the kiln that I thought I would share.

I love glazing. I mean I really love glazing. Well, I love the whole process, and I love making my textures for my art pieces, but frankly, they don’t lend themselves to cool glazing. So I’ve found a way to enjoy making functional.

However, if there’s an artist out there who wants to combine powers, I’d probably be interested. :D

Frost and the Unforgiving Headache

April 6, 2008 at 2:36 pm (Business story) (, )

Frost regretted some of her actions in the past year.  Well, perhaps it wasn’t her actions she regretted, so much as her inactions.  She collected most of the reciepts from her work, which was good, but she never actually entered them into any sort of program or list of any kind.  They sat in a folder unsorted, so now that the Date of Doom fast approached, she had to sit down and do it all at once.  

Still, she was doing better than last year, when she barely had collected any reciepts at all.  So this year, she would have to do even better and enter them into her new business program shortly after she got them.  

 

Or else the headache would be back.  

 

Ow.
