Cuz It’s THAT Time of Year!
Yep. Time for a bit of ‘distraction shopping’. I watched a few videos about copper enameling and PMC (precious metal clays) with glass … So, I’m stocking up on what I need, waiting for some items to arrive and scouring through my books. Hope to give this a try in the near future. Meanwhile, it …
Ouch and Doh!
So, I managed to start the week off with an OUCHER!!! While some may think stitches were indicated, THIS nurse knows better! I still got my mega-load of spoon rests in the coffin kiln. And, more rainbow night lights in the works … No stopping me in the kitchen, either. Shrimp stir-fry is a …
Amazing!
I got a wee bit side-tracked today. My new phone arrived – and I had some learning to do. Samsung Galaxy S8+ … Oh My Goodness … I love it! I’ve been taking pictures, pictures – and more pictures! What an awesome phone camera!!! Little to no photo-editing to correct colors or lighting needed … …
Summer Lovin’ …
DH surprised me tonight by suggesting a vit pull. Aww … Thanks, babe! So – we did. It’s Bullseye aqua, teal, steel blue, emerald green, powder blue, warm white and clear. I’m happy with the results! And then, I stole a few hours for enamel projects … I love the cat & dog spoon rests. …
Life in our zoo …
I played a bit in the studio tonight … Working on more reverse enameling projects. I have a lion (or llama – you decide) spoon rest, an elephant ring dish, and two stamped plates in-the-works. I hope to combine reverse-enameling with crackle glass on the plates … We’ll see … I also fire-polished my tile …
Clean Studio = Tired, But HAPPY!
Spent a couple of days this week cleaning up/organizing my haven, uhh STUDIO! Good golly, it’s been a while. But she’s all back together – I can find stuff, AND I have open spaces to work! What a cool idea!!! DH and I had our pink cane pull. While it didn’t do what I thought …
Fingers Crossed …
My back is on fire, but I have three kilns running, jewelry tiles cooking and a new product line just about ready to go … Fingers crossed that my kilns behave! My studio is a disaster, but – ya know … I was CREATING! It’s all good. Here’s what I’ve got: Our next couple of …
Updates – and studio news …
Our cheap-man’s stromboli (chicken & mushrooms in crescent dough ‘braid’) from the other night is good … The family says it’s a [not-so-healthy] keeper-recipe … Moving on, DH & I had our pull – the ‘feared’ red cane … It worked, and I love it!!! So, now I have my rainbow murrini (not all pictured here) …
Interesting …
A pre-fire/post-fire comparison: Of course, I could try to play off the changes, like some post-diagnostic STD slides … But, no – I tried to follow guide-lines. My layers were not so thick that they caused cracking … Apparently, FM-HF peach, yellow and red get some deep level V-D ‘spots’ … Who knew?!? I’m glad …
Moo Goo Gai Pan & Studio Work …
Like much of my cooking, what started out as a small meal turned into enough to feed an army (squad – at least!) … I had a hankering for some stir-fry veggies, stumbled on this Moo Goo Gai Pan recipe (DH loves the name!), altered a bit with spices and veggie selection … Here’s my …
