New Blog

I have been wanting to venture into this new world of communication for a while...but just now got my courage up.

I used to have a newsletter but that seems cumbersome now and cluttering mail boxes does not seem right either.

So here it goes..... what is going on in my life.....don't know if anyone really cares but if I can figure out how to download the mobile app to blog from my smart phone, I could come up with some cool travel posts down the road. We will see how I manage this.

What am I working on:

*My new Blog of course!

*I accomplished my first single fire ceramic pottery load. I am so excited about this, saving energy and time feels so good. How this works is: usually we do a bisque fire and after that a glaze fire. Now I glaze the unfired pots (a bit tricky) and fire them to their glaze temperature right away. It does my environmentally concious heart good.

I am also trying to concentrate a bit on these new iris dishes. Please feel free to order from me, I especially like custom orders because I believe on producing only what customers want. However I do stock a few examples until I run out of space....under my bed....lol

I am working on some soup cups for myself, a baking dish for small loaves of bread (1or2 person), a butter dish that can sit outside in water and some bottles. Clay keeps liquids nice and cold in the summer. I love my new spice jars, they look so pretty on the shelf. Do you ever drink herb teas? I have a little jar with ground caraway seeds, 1/2 tsp in a cup with hot water and honey helps with the digestion of legumes and tastes pretty good too. Trust me it really works.

Like I said I need an easier way to write these blog posts, all my pics are on my phone....so I need to work on this.

I am going to end this post for now. If you managed to find it, check back soon, I will talk about my paintings that are in progress soon.
