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 …
Studio and summer news …
Started playing with some new dichro pieces last night (ok – early this morning, as the insomnia has returned!) … managed to break a piece of glass very poorly, and am now sporting 3 band-aids on my left hand from where I was apparently trying to deglove myself a couple fingers at a time! Not …
Heat wave … and other news
Got a reprieve from the electric company … maybe they felt bad for me? With the kilns kicking, I’ve got to be a good customer, right? Anyway – power’s back on as of Tuesday night! YAY!! I spent some time realizing I would not have done well in pioneer days … Up at 5am this …
They say the 1st is the toughest …

The yard work is done (almost) …
For this year anyway … Each year I add to our growing gardens/flower beds/landscaping. Since our house is in the middle of what used to be a hay field, I’ve had lots of planting to do. In the first few years, I would surround the house with annuals – in pots, no less. I quickly …
Hibernation …
So … I seem to have fallen into a strange routine. I’ve been sleeping 11+ hours on Mondays. This is bizarre to me, as I typically function on 4-7 hours of sleep and then magically wake up, whether I want more or not … My only complaint is that I’m waking up at strange hours …
