Good morning sleepy heads!
You mean not everyone was up till 5 this morning sdpining pots and then woken by a bunch of little girls jumping on the bed "daddy daddy I missed you"
Grrr, "Hey Cielo, you're seven now, go make your old man some coffee."<GGGG>
Well, I have to admit I got a sheet load of work done last night. I realize that I am already challanged<GG> but I decided to push myslef just a bit further last night. Started out with 12# balls of clay on the wheel. The last three(spun 18 pieces) I worked my way up to 20-25# balls. Most are in the 15-18# range, and I have to admit I am impressed with how well I did. Had one bad phase yesterday early and botched three pieces in a row, but wedged themn back up and got nice stuff the second go round.
My arms or more appropriately shoulders are definitely feeling the pain of wedging and throwing a few hundred pounds of clay. Maybe I'll head out to a jock bar tonight and hustle some muscle heads by arm wrestling them. LOL, 5'8", 135# and I'll whoop someone whose 200# plus in arm wrestling.
Still kinda tired, but I have to get up there and trim up these pieces. I had the heat cranked to 75 in there last night and they were drying at a quick pace.
P.S> My brother is stopping by about noonish, gonna go with me to get a camera. Dad left for the desert until Wednesday and took his camera with my shots on it :(
P.S> I really gotta say it again, the stuff I threw last night has some nice forms, but I need to begin to focus on doing some sculpture. Though I enjoy spinning on the wheel, I don't want to be a potter. Just too damn much work for so little pay. Sculpting it the way to go, assuming I can make stuff people like<GGG>
Well, before I fade back onto the mattress I need to get up there in the next 15 minutes or I won't make it.
Take care. and thanks for the help about the camera stuff. |
