I am really liking this frost porcelain clay it is so creamy white, plastic, and smooth, we shall see how it dries and fires. Oh I didn't like this place at first, but it is growing on me, I hope you get more than you expect with your move.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-38824055497479298932010-04-29T12:48:50.970-04:002010-04-29T12:48:50.970-04:00I love the vase very much, it is interesting how i...I love the vase very much, it is interesting how it would look after glazing, if at all...<br />I am so glad for you, enjoying so much your new neighborhood. I am going to move to another place in 2months, but I fear it is not going to be as pleasant as I would like.walking beyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18195345520127827258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-51034711769866025792010-04-29T12:09:59.311-04:002010-04-29T12:09:59.311-04:00hey linda, i like the dent, thought you did it on ...hey linda, i like the dent, thought you did it on purpose. i don't usually plan too much, but as kitty says all too often i keep having to go find that one tool i need, or have to jury rig something for support till the clay drys enough. when i plan, even just a little, things go so much smoother. <br />when i read about the cardinal i was instantly jealous! i grew up w/ them in TX, saw them daily in VA, but they don't live here in MT. i do see lots of antelope, deer, and eagles out my front window though so i suppose it's a good tradeoff.Kim Hineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17735663073994877951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-2856903742071091842010-04-29T10:40:44.514-04:002010-04-29T10:40:44.514-04:00Hi Paula, thanks, I think it looks kind of antique...Hi Paula, thanks, I think it looks kind of antique or sepia toned, purely by accident.<br /><br />Hi Kitty, thanks, I think I need a pale glaze for this one to see the texture, I never know in advance; I'll need to do some testing. I made a sculpture of a church last night and it took me forever probably because I didn't plan. I'll need to start doing that and perhaps I can get more done. I had a hard time finding you on twitter as I didn't realilze you'd be under studioslipware, but I am now following you. I hardly ever get on twitter though, but use facebook and my blog mostly.<br /><br />Hi Tracey, thanks, I only seem to get the dents when I don't want them, oh well, I do like the texture a lot.<br /><br />Hi Joan, thanks, I am going to invest in some foam rubber to hold up stuff with, for this one I used a paint roller; the roller is soft and works pretty well. On pvc I use WD-40; I spray it on and then wipe it off a little, it works great and burns off in the bisque and is much quicker than newspaper. I'm starting to like it here, not sure about the summer though, but I guess every place has it's bad weather.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-21452646244578177952010-04-29T10:21:20.424-04:002010-04-29T10:21:20.424-04:00Linda, Lana uses those big rolls of heavy cardboar...Linda, Lana uses those big rolls of heavy cardboard to use as a support for handbuilt vessels. ; put newspaper over tube and put slab around.

I heard something on the radio yesterday about planning it wet like this. "To make a plan is a plan for success" "Not to plan is to plan for failure" So in connection to my work; well I always plan if I let myself go into freefall than it usually goes wrong but more importantly it takes 7 times longer because I am problem solving as I go along rather than anticipating.<br />Linda, can you follow me on Twitter I have hardly any followers and I don’t tweet too much, well just important stuff. <br /><br />P L E A S E xxxxxxxxxxxxKitty Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079093101323521539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-2368218977165121522010-04-29T08:07:13.943-04:002010-04-29T08:07:13.943-04:00Love the lighting on your vase!Love the lighting on your vase!Paula Henderson Potteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788566810923376331noreply@blogger.com
