These are the results of 20 minutes of work, including the time it took to loop and cut the little wires in the pendants (seems like everyone is ordering wire instead of holes). Go Slab Roller! I was having a problem with the rollers, took the thing apart twice, then finally discovered that the little screws that are supposed to hold the gears in place were loose (not sure if that was done during assembly or shipping).
I’m cutting out a number of plain pendants this time around. I was happy with how my acrylic resist experiment came out, so I’d like to explore that method some more. In my artistic life, BC (Before Ceramics), I was a decorative painter, so I’d like to incorporate some brushstroke techniques into my work.
The orders are starting to come in from my “Nature Walk” necklace that is in Stringing, Summer 2010. I had a glitch in my shopping cart that I caught after a couple of orders (and corrected, fun fun afternoon THAT was), but if you’re DM or SM and you placed an order with me, your glaze choices did NOT come through. I’ve been trying to email you but haven’t received a response back yet, so I’m wondering if my emails are ending up in your spam folder. Please get back to me with your choices!
I’m loving the little ring dishes. These will be making an appearance in my shop as soon as they’re glazed. Tonight I’m breaking out the stoneware and I’ll be making some of those plant spikes for sale as well.
Off to battle a formidable toddler. Serenity NOW!!!
