To The Kiln They Go
Friday, August 29th, 2008
I really hurt my hand the other day at the beach. I was trying to be macho and show off for Daniel by diving for the frisbee and I landed wrong. It hurts pretty bad but I am one tough cookie!
I made it to class and was able to glaze a few of my pieces. [...] -
New Greenware
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008
I posted the other day about some new pieces i threw on my pottery wheel here at my apartment. Since then I have turned and trimmed them to get rid of the excess clay as well as carving the holes out for the yarn bells and yarn bowls.
The funny thing is that I have already [...] -

Today a blogger, Seth Godin, wrote this article about the concept of an online tip jar by clicking on the ads appearing on blogs these days. I get the concept of helping out by clicking on the sponsors to provide a couple cents to the blogger who in turn will continue to write. He then [...]

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008
School started yesterday and I put 3 of the pieces I made last week on the kiln cart to get fired (hopefully) later this week. I love having a plethora amount of projects working at any given time so I decided to go out on my wheel again today.

New Etsy Listing- Genie Bottle
Thursday, August 14th, 2008
I posted a new listing on Etsy today for one of my ceramic vessels handthrown and handpainted by yours truly. I didn’t much care for turnout of the glazing because one glaze was shiny and the other matte and, while it normally looks great in combination, didn’t work well on this shape.
To correct this I [...] -
Time Well Spent

School starts up again next week and I have taken a break off from throwing anything on my pottery wheel. I have a wheel at my place but I have don’t have a kiln. I use the kitty-litter in a box trick to transport my bone dry pieces to school to be fired. As a [...]

While in San Fransisco a couple weeks back I stopped by ArtFibers in the Financial District. I ended up buying 50g of their Zoftig yarn in a really pretty green color and this purplish silver color. I wanted to make a new beanie for myself and I thought this yarn would be perfect for it!

A Pig’s Tale
Monday, August 11th, 2008
I was at Michael’s awhile back and I found these piggy banks that little kids are supposed to decorate themselves with special pens. Of course the pens cost nearly twice as much as the actual pig but whatever. I still got two of the pigs and thought I would decorate them with my meraki design [...]
