Since my other
big and tall pot is taking so long to dry, I decided to make another one. I plan is to make a group of large pots and then I can fire them all together.
That's an eighteen inch ruler standing next to the pot which is about sixteen inches tall. With all the humidity in the air and it being the time of year we don't use the air conditioning and we don't use the heat clay work is taking much longer to dry. The rest of the week should be dry here so hopefully things dry out. My heart goes out to all the folks in North and South Carolina; they have been getting historic rains and there is extensive flooding with home, road and bridge damages and losses.
Along with the large pots I also made some medium sized pots, about eleven inches tall, to fill up a kiln load. The pot on the left has some texture. Saturday was a bust for sales at the farmer's market. Not one person even came to the market till after 11 am since it was raining so much. Can't predict what mother nature will bring that's for sure. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
Rain rain, we'd ask only for moderation...
ReplyDeleteLinda, your bigger pots look very promising.
Our market closed completely for the first time this last weekend...the week before only a few vendors came and even less customers. Hopefully this next weekend will make up for it!
Hi Barb, thanks so much, if only all the rain in SC could be sent West; I hope this week makes up for this past Saturday, and hopefully being artist of the month at the gallery brings more sales.
ReplyDeleteI have been reading the news about the flooding in South Carolina and wondered about you in Georgia.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the bust at the market.
Hi Gigi, thanks, we are up in the mountains on high ground but there is always the risk of mud slides, thankfully whoever built here left the treese trees behind us and the ground and plants hold a lot of water; we got about 6 inches in two days, Better luck next time for the market
ReplyDeleteIt’s been so hard for so many people in the Carolinas, too much rain all at once.
ReplyDeleteHi Lori, thanks, packing up a care package as we speak, folks are going to need a lot of stuff.
DeleteSome world wide weather moderation would be very nice. We need rain here. Rather a lot.
ReplyDeleteLoving your big pots. And would happily use one as an umbrella stand by the front door.
Hi Sue, thanks, I was thinking of the first big pot and it being an umbrella stand, when not in use would be a statement of art and beauty.
DeleteThe big pots are awesome! That's some kind of rain that ya'll have gotten! Keeping the whole East coast in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteHi Marguerite, thanks, I can't wait to fire the big ones but they are drying very slowly.
