I am ill, not too bad just a cold and cough, could be worse.<br /><br />Hi Patricia, thanks, I'm not too ill and I get bored so easily, so I have to do a little something.<br /><br />Hi Meredith, thanks, I am wondering if these will dry in time to get them fired here. I hope so. Gary keeps saying to stop, but I just can't help myself. Something will work out.<br /><br />Hi Jim, thanks, after I read your comment I went to look at it and it is drying faster than anything else I have made I guess cause air can circulate around it easily even if it is covered. There are a couple of attachments that look kind of scary. Not sure I can get it to take the trip to a kiln, we shall see, but at least it's small and now I know I can make it in a more controlled environment.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-107624677749819772009-12-09T10:16:32.199-05:002009-12-09T10:16:32.199-05:00i not only would be thinking how to attach the coi...i not only would be thinking how to attach the coil around the outside with only two hands, i'd be wondering how i would get it to dry without it pulling apart at one of the joints. good luckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-50193422690831776922009-12-09T09:51:42.390-05:002009-12-09T09:51:42.390-05:00Amazing- you will be able to write your own book o...Amazing- you will be able to write your own book on "potting and the open road"<br />Mcookingwithgashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11456258592273328486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-7784243109525219622009-12-08T23:51:27.260-05:002009-12-08T23:51:27.260-05:00Looks like you've been busy despite not feelin...Looks like you've been busy despite not feeling well...

I'm feeling under the weather, perhaps my wellness formula isn't working out as well as I had hoped. Oh well I guess I can't feel perfectly ok all the time.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-63426803396682652722009-12-08T10:41:50.464-05:002009-12-08T10:41:50.464-05:00Hey, miniatures would be a great idea.

How nice though that you are having the freedom to just let those creative urges flow. I love the open vase sculpture, it looks good on its own, but if I put it to functional use, I can see my collection of shiny scissors,or my fat colored pencils.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500856043950615621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-65601566148588197832009-12-08T09:14:40.899-05:002009-12-08T09:14:40.899-05:00Hi Peter, thanks, that is interesting that folks h...Hi Peter, thanks, that is interesting that folks have that reaction to sculpture. Perhaps that's why I titled this post What Is IT unconciously. Sometimes I just have a feeling about making something and I make it. Maybe in my own mind I try to justify it by thinking of what it could be used for. You have made me realize perhaps I need to feel a bit more free and just make whatever comes to mind, not trying to justify it or giving it some type of function. I'm having lots of discussions with Gary about what I am making and he had given me some good pointers. Yesterday he was saying he wants to get a welder and make some things with metal. <br /><br />As far as the casserole dish, Gary helped me to think about how the handles should function, thank goodness he was there to advise me. Now I am thinking about making some lids and wondering how I will do this. I need lots of practice and I am running out of room in the RV. I think I will try making some miniature or at least some small pots since the same principles will apply when I make something larger.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-46444606785813127842009-12-08T02:21:33.542-05:002009-12-08T02:21:33.542-05:00Hi Linda,

I have a sculpture here that I made one day that most people seem to have a problem with. It is just a simple pot that I threw, then cut in half vertically. I rejoined it so that both halves are out of alignment and there are gaps so that you can see inside the pot and outside at the same time. I found it interesting to do as it made "art" out of something ordinary. Many people who see it think that I have made a mistake and maybe damaged it! Ah well....<br /><br />I like your casserole dish. Nice handles. I've been thinking of making some as they are really useful and very occasionally people have asked if I do them.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.com
