End of week, and a busy week at that though it feels like very little has been accomplished. Don't you j
ust hate it when it feels like that. I think I've found myself in a "oh my goodness what on earth shall I make now" kind of space. There are things that I have on my list in my head that I want to make but at the same time the workshop is ever so slightly full and part of my brain is telling me I can't possibly indulge and make more pots until I have space to put them. So I think all in all it's possibly a good thing that in the next couple of weeks I have so many things other than making pots to do that I won't actually be able to think about making pots for a while and by the time I get back to it properly I'll be thinking straighter.

A herd of my
beasties has appeared this week though
in between the busy head. I have to finish my second article for the Craft&Design magazine this weekend. I have started it but got somewhat waylaid with something obviously very important, so important that I now can't remember what it was. Must get on with that, especially as I need some lovely people to proof read it for me and I don't want to leave them with no time in which to do it.

Beastie heads drying, they've gone a bit doggy looking this time, probably been thinking about Amanda's new puppy that's done that.

Very doglike- isn't it fascinating how things can influence our work,not always immediately. Sometimes years after!
ReplyDeleteAre you remembering to heat the water for the tea? We all worry about that, Hannah ...
ReplyDeleteBeasties! What ever are they for? Awesome. I was looking at the first picture, the oval, and got to thinking about the missed spaces in the slip lines. While I love the handmade look I got to wondering if you could make a picture or something with missing slip in the lines? Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteHope your tea is hot!
So far so good with the tea, I haven't done it again since Tuesday. Hopefully I'm over it, whatever it was.
ReplyDeleteHi Al, the beasties are oil drizzlers. I like the idea of the pictures with the missing lines, not sure I'm clever enough to work out which bits to leave though. I saw some beauties of Japanese slipware pots somewhere that didn't have the outline drawn, instead the trailing filled in the background leaving the pattern / picture clean. I keep thinking about them but again haven't worked out the logistics yet.
