New Blog

I might create more blogs than I can handle, especially when school resumes. However, I have started a new one for my health and please follow if you are interested. It can be linked from my profile. I'd love to share and compare tips for veggie, green, and gluten free and so on, living, since I am embarking on this journey for medical and ethical reasons. Although this is a path I'd like to take and share, I hope to not alienate people who may not want to adjust to this lifestyle by any means, but may find they'd like to share their own or take some of the advice for whatever health benefits they're aiming for.

I will get back to this blog, and try to atleast post some pics of my first year work and those kiln building pics I promised. However, for the time being, I am stuck ill and away from my personal computer that can do all of those things. I have begun to take up knitting and love it. It's also nice for the time being, because it allows me to be active while laying propped up, until I get well again.

For the few readers I have- thank you and I hope all is well and you are enjoying the holiday season and your chosen celebrations.
Cheers:)

sickly-poo

My apologies, I have never had a chance to post the kiln pictures. I've been really sick this entire fall and am still undergoing treatments, tests, you name it. When I get back into regular humanoid functioning, I will make sure to do this and post my work...finally! I hope everyone's having a great season and are looking forward to the holidays! Cheers")

Finalmente!

We have built the first layer of our new wood, salt kiln! It's a beauty- I have to look at it with proud momma eyes! As soon as I work the kinks out of my cameras, I will begin posting our process and progress! I hope the kinks get out soon, b/c classes are starting back up.....ehhh. I may link a new blog to it. Cheers!

I'm on a kiln!

Soooo- this semester I've the the arduous yet exhilarating task of building in a kiln- a task I put myself up to. I have absolutely loved it so much, that I don't want to go back into a studio. I've been building in the (Vatagama) Anagama Mike Vatalaro and students built. although I wish I was there at the time- we've been so lucky that we will be capable of having a similar-ish experience this summer building an addition- which will be designed by all of us and built to the likewise- which will be salt-wood-kiln....sweeeeet. Anywhoo- we are firing up now, a student/teach only kiln just before heading off to NCECA- hopefully upon return, we will open it up to some sweet surprises! I'm going to post building images and then finished....ehhh...that's a huge hope! HA! We'll see soon- cheers!")

time time time

see what's become of me, when i look around blah blah possibilities.....Ah! the Bangles said it so well! So, I have not felt up to posting...to my absent little blog. From being busy with school, physically, emotionally and mentally drained and seeming to have another straight year of muck- I am a stinker. I need a big fat break! So, eventually I will post work...blah blah blah...off into the void")
