Pots

Good Morning, Kittens!

Not much happened yesterday. I slept. A lot. And I ate. Then, I went to pottery class. I pulled handles and trimmed two mugs. I also moved several large-ish platter-bowl-things which should (maybe?) be ready to trim next week.

I also picked up the rest of my glazed pottery from the last firing. It's a bit disappointing for 2 reasons. First, the Lisa's Favorite Blue glaze ran. A lot. And, second, they are full of tiny little pinprick flaws (possibly from cooling too quickly in the kiln) which render them unfit for food use. Bah.

Nevertheless, they look pretty ...

Large BowlApprox. 5" tall, 7" across


PitcherApprox. 6" tall


Vase 1Approx. 5" tall


Vase 2Approx. 4" tall, 4.5" wide at mouth


Have a great day! *smooches*

    they are still beautiful, even if you can't eat/drink from them. they could be yarn mugs, vases, pencil holders, bead holders...endless possibilities!

    today is a sunny day to go outside...go soak up that vitamin D!

    smooches!

    My dear, they are gorgeous, whether they hold food or not. In fact, if they disappoint you, lemme buy one.

    I adore that pitcher! Have you thought about opening an Etsy shop? Or doing any commission work?

I'm Back (from Vacation)

 I'm back. I will be posting about my vacation soon.  Well, soonish ... maybe this weekend.  I dunno. Also, I came back to a big pile of stress at work.  Good times. Can I go on vacation again?  (Why, yes. Yes, I can.  I'll be flying to Atlanta for Pesach.  Just the weekend.  Not the whole dang thing.  My body needs gluten. And, then, a quick trip to NC in early May to see the 'rents.) ANYWAY.  Israel and Latvia posts coming up. Stay tuned. Or just look at the pix on my IG. *hugz*

If We Took a Holiday ...

 Happy Presidents' Day! Since I last posted, so much has happened ... I think.   I was going to bake my parents heart-shaped biscuits, because -when we were wee lads- my mom used to bake my brother and I heart-shaped biscuits on Valentine's morning.  They were not as good as the biscuits I make now. However, after I grated the frozen butter in my food processor, I tipped it out into the flour and the handle on the food processor broke.  The bowl fell into the flour.  I dug out a few pieces of plastic and a spring, and I threw it all in the trash.  I called the manufacturer.  They are sending me a new bowl ... in 2-3 weeks.  UGH.  HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE BISCUITS NOW?!?!? The SigNoth caught a cold, so Valentine's Day was even more of a bust.  Not that I really buy into the whole pseudo-holiday thing anyway. Saturday, I did my taxes. Refund, yay!  And, I ordered some nice stationery.  I thought it would be fun to use my fa...

Too Early But Not Early Enough

 6:00AM. With the new normal, I should be on a bus to the metro station, where I board a train and then another train to arrive at my office bright and early and chipper as a newborn squirrel. Today is special, though.  It's Pottery Class Registration Day.  Which is surprisingly competitive.  The DMV has too many Type A Soccer Moms (and Dads). In order to register for class, I have to log on at 6:30AM and hope the Pottery Gods are kind to me in the registration queue.  We shall see ... so exciting. After I register, I will then board a bus and a train ... and another train to get to my office.  Depending on what time I arrive, I will either work late (ugh) or take some leave (also, ugh).  Being totally honest, I will more than likely take leave because I hate being at work late.   This would be a perfect day to telework.  If we were allowed to telework.  Too bad Danger Yam (as one of my mutuals calls He Who Must Not Be Named) thinks...
