'Nuff Said

i think amongst professionals in the same field if discourse doesn't begin and continue in a vein of mutual respect and courtesy on the part of all concerned the interaction will be a putrid one.

Seems I've Finally Made My Mark In The World . . . .

okay, i've been at odds trying to figure out a mark for the back of my pottery.  here it is:

i'm rather pleased with it.  i was visiting the site of mel jacobson and saw his mark.  it inspired mine.  keep in mind my pottery is signed myrrha.  good luck seeing that in the mark.  it's there, i'm not kidding you.  :D

a few discoveries

just a few things to share.  having a substantial foot that allows me to grip a piece while suspending it upside down over a bucket of glaze, dunking it then pulling it back out.  also, i've discovered a cooling rack is perfect for setting a piece on to pour glaze over thus freeing up my hands.

i've updated my etsy blog.

there's a lot of glazing goin' on around heah . . .

well, i embarked on more glazing today.  i didn't take pics of one bowl.  i know it's hard to get a feel for what the finished product will be, but i think it looks interesting anyway to see the pre-fire glaze.  i'm still glazing 2 items the same pretty much.  but, today i glazed w/the reduction results in mind and will be surprised to see what the oxidation results are.

the bowls i did photograph.



the cups i glazed today.





the mugs i glazed yesterday but didn't photo.



well that's all she wrote.  only have a few bowls, the flower pot, the first prototype for the square bottom trials.  i will be getting more bisque out of the kiln tmw.  i'll have more mugs in there.

vinegar slip . . .

i keep a container of slip mixed with vinegar close at hand for attaching components on my work.  it's infallible by my experience.  i've not had anything come off in firing.  i'm anxious to see how the first cookie jar and the recent baking dish come out as i used the vinegar slip (generously applied) to attach the feet which were thrown on the wheel.  i swear by it in fact.
