Ceramics and Mosaic in the Garden. Drat and Drat again. Chix and Trix →. May 2, 2010. At noon I walked downtown to meet my daughter at the Farmer’s Market for lunch. This guy passed me, bunny hopping on and off the curbs. There is no coasting on a unicycle. And Kyla’s iced coffee. The tip-off is in this last picture with the guy with the big camera. He is photographing Kyla photographing the “cats”. A few minutes later we noticed these signs were everywhere:. And on the other side of the park there was a...

Ceramics and Mosaic in the Garden. The book is here! Nice Nest Needed →. Ah, spring changes. April 16, 2010. The skinny columnar apple trees are in bloom. The trees don’t put out lateral branches but bear on short spurs near the trunk. That’s why I can have 7 different apple varieties in a 4×4 foot plot. That one in the middle is a little slow in popping out some blossoms. I went to San Francisco this week to hear Ian McEwan. Speak and read from his new book,. This entry was posted in ceramics.

https://claygarden.wordpress.com/2010/04/13/the-book-is-here
Ceramics and Mosaic in the Garden. Ah, spring changes →. The book is here! April 13, 2010. A while ago I wrote my good news about Craig’s book coming out. It is on Amazon. In paperback and the expensive hardback edition. It really is a surprisingly readable book considering he wrote it as an adjunct text for his environmental law classes. He was trying to answer the 2 questions that always came up in his classes:. How well are our major environmental laws working? Here is Amazon’s description:. Really- I...

Ceramics and Mosaic in the Garden. Can’t be Fall yet →. May 20, 2010. But in the end, it functions. The doors and lids open and close. It will stay dry and reasonably warm, and most importantly, raccoons will be kept out. Some of the wedding bowls glazed and waiting. “We” have had a hard time deciding what shape or size “we” want so I am trying out a few different ones. This entry was posted in ceramics.

Ceramics and Mosaic in the Garden. Gray is the new black (parenthetically speaking). Down with Clay →. Drat and Drat again. April 30, 2010. I grimace a little when I think of how easy I thought it was going to be to get a screen made for “the wedding bowls”. Turns out that tattoo artists use a different 3M Thermofax to make transfers for their drawings. Their process makes a carbon copy on a tissue-y paper. I want to burn through an emulsion layer on a woven screen. Drat! This entry was posted in ceramics.

Ceramics and Mosaic in the Garden. Drat and Drat again →. Gray is the new black (parenthetically speaking). April 27, 2010. OK, the connection to the glaze is coming: Since the wedding will be 2 states away in Olympia, WA, she wants to put welcome/wedding-weekend-survival baskets in everyone’s hotel room. (I’m getting there.) So I am making some little bowls to fill with chocolates (or mints or Advil or something). They think the gray glaze will be perfect for the bowls.

Ceramics and Mosaic in the Garden. I’ll do it at some point. The book is here! March 15, 2010. Still playing around with the backgrounds on calla tiles. This one has majolica colors over the white flowers and a majolica wash over the layers of glazes on the background. Kyla is always really busy with school, work and everything else she does, so was the poor bunny never getting to come out of his cage? This entry was posted in ceramics. I’ll do it at some point. The book is here! March 15, 2010 at 7:48 am.

Dragonfly Clay: March 2008
http://dragonflyclay.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 31, 2008. Glazing, glazing, glazing. A little detail work with the lovely squeezy bottle with tiny nib attachment. Ready for the overall clear glaze dipping. Making more clear glaze with a little help from my studio mate. Links to this post. Sunday, March 30, 2008. Glazing, drying and signs of spring. I am feeling the pressure of space as my classes start again this coming week. Here is about 1 and 1/2 kiln loads of ware to be glaze fired, that should get in before classes start. Here are m...

Dragonfly Clay: Finally!
http://dragonflyclay.blogspot.com/2009/11/finally.html
Sunday, November 1, 2009. I'm glad to be back after a long studio hiatus. I was busy creating but not ceramic vessels. I got back to work recently and have finished the pots for my Woman as Vessel show. They are all porcelain, functional vessels with laser printer decals. The show will take place in May 2010 at an as yet to be determined gallery location. I am very, very pleased with how these turned out. November 8, 2009 at 9:21 AM. November 9, 2009 at 9:06 PM.

Sunday, November 1, 2009. Finally, part 2. A serving platter. A uterus. Mugs with more anatomy lessons. Porcelain lanterns with definitions of the word woman on them.
