It’s getting hot in here …
Oh Fred … I know you’re trying! Look at what my poor DH has ‘rigged’ for me lately, in an effort to cool down the studio … And, to add insult – he’s having issue with our pool. Being the redneck version of Fred Sanford that he is … he has 3 filters, all in …
It’s all about priorities …
New AC unit/central air or a table top kiln??? Hmmm … well, the new kiln will (hopefully) be here next week! Cuz, ya know, it’s good to sweat – cleanses the pores, holistically rids the body of toxins, or something like that … And, as I’ve mentioned – I have ‘Fred’ (Sanford) for a …
But Maaa – I don’t wanna ….
I’m on such a productive roll in the studio – I don’t wanna go back to work, darn it! [Arms crossed with pouty face!] I have pictures: Finally got some badge reel photos taking in prep for listing in the shops: I have the coffin loaded (and RUNNING!) for new bowls (slumping): I …
WWU … WHINE

Long day …
but ending it in my studio – so, you know – a GOOD day. Started in the early A.M., so that my curly hair could air dry, and I could TRY to look presentable (still haven’t figured out why I bother …???). Anyway, had to go to a social function related to my SANE job. …
Flop, but it’s ok …
It’s all valuable learning … I continue to putter and play with recycled bottle pieces … The vase experiment was a total flop. Oops – totally wrong temperatures. I’m giving up trying that again (for now) as I think it’s a lost cause due to the nature of glass in a kiln (wanting to be 1/4 …
More experiments …
Sometimes they work … sometimes not so much. But I’m compelled to keep trying – to the annoyance of my bank account and DH. New mold, new bottle bowl. I like it, but will continue to play with it to get more relief (so the design shows off more) … A dichroic experiment … I …
Good news …
The tax man says the kilns can keep kickin’ … YAY!! I’ll be learning some new business concepts (COGS = cost of goods sold vs. inventory, raw materials and supplies), but I love learning … As long as I get to keep playing in glass! It’s a good thing too, since I have another shipment …
