This past couple of weeks (I apologize for missing last week’s post) have continued to be productive.  From making the tort population grow to getting the kiln further along to painting pigs for a fundraiser-it has been quite busy (not including everything else I have been working on!).

Where there was a serious lack of the female gender in one posted picture on the net-a balancing photo of female work ethic has been recently added-yay, balance!

We are feverishly trying to get the wood fire kiln completed so that we can be able to fire at least one load before our fall senior show-which is now less than 20 days away! Can we make it? Only the stars know. Let us hope that those who are counting on using wood fired pieces in the show have a backup plan, just in case :/

I have put in the last of my greenware multiplicity pieces into bisque and am anxiously awaiting their emergence from the kiln. Once they have come out (hopefully intact and with no major damage) I will be running them (the remaining 73) through their next step-cone 6.

With all these firings I have already done and the ones I have left to do-I am really dreading my next electric bill! L

I have also been working on the finishing touches to the other pieces that will be included in the fall show-you know, firing, painting assemblage, etc. It’s going to be great!

I have also begun earnestly trying to find funding assistance for my graduating senior show pieces.  Who knew such creativity could cost so much? I have also began production on the pieces for this show in the spring. (Pictures-much later or possibly after)

On another note: the Space Lab installations by my fellow artists over the past 2 weeks have been very inspiring!  I really enjoyed all 4 installations-way to go, Logan, Tami, Dan & Hermes!

Well, I have to get back to work now-see you on the flipside!

Enjoy the snapshots and don’t forget to feed the fishies…
