First salt firing of the year!

Getting ready to load the kiln.
Several girls are waiting.
Getting her in the kiln was a bit of a challenge.
The posts are looking pretty salted about now. You can see the beginnings of my army of Persimmon Women! Remember how I was addicted to persimmons? Well, I became so allergic to them that I ended up in the hospital, but that is a story for another day. Now I am  obsessing over persimmons in a different way....
This is before the door goes up brick by brick for 2 rows. I was so excited to have a beautiful day in the sun for being outside.

I'll be joining in with the eccentrics of Boulder, talking about our passions . 

Class mold making

Class working on making and pouring molds of our personal symbols.


After cleaning the molds we started our series of head cups that represent 3 childhood memories.  All these pieces will be salt fired. All this fun takes place at the Boulder Potters Guild.
A shipment of boats await their turn in the oven.

more under wraps

I have been getting ready for 3 shows coming up and my studio has lots of work under plastic. Here are a few examples...

ETSY!

Figured out  Etsy! Check out my first few items. Any suggestions?

AVATAR

Avatar-I See You! (or Saw) What a gorgeous work of art. It's amazing how many people have found it to be extraordinary. I loved how the Navi respected all creatures and things and even plugged their hair into their special animals and plants in order to connect. And what about 6 legged horse like creatures that can sense each other from far away? The story, the music, the beautiful visuals.. what a feast. Highly recommended.

Blanket appreciation

I am so appreciating the wedding blanket sent to me from Maryam of My Marrakesh. It flashes in the light and jingles when I sit down. I love it!  Check out her amazing blog and see all her vintage wedding blankets plus gorgeous rugs from the Atlas Mountains of northern Africa.
