Whoa, I'm impressed with the progress -- Sounds like you're going great guns again!!!
I agree. Don't have to feel too shabby about not getting any seeds started. I'm sure the right opportunity will happen along in time to do the seeds before it gets too late. I got feeling like planting seeds as some way of striking back at this winter snow. Jeepers..had more snow today. But it's fairly clear out tonight and supposed to be above freezing tomorrow, so maybe the snow will do a bit of melting down.

I didn't get my clay ordered yet, but will do that soon. Just out of curiosity, have you ever experimented with paper clay? I was reading a bit about it and it sounds interesting... If you don't know much about it, seems that people mix recycled paper...old egg cartons, computer print-out paper...whatever.. soak it and mix it with clay. Apparently, the paper burns out of the clay during firing, leaving lightweight sculptures. Guess it's nice to sculpt with. I read quite a lot of posts about it on the potter's discussion board that I posted the link to awhile back. Seems like there are a lot of people who really get into working with it. Anyhow, just another thing for me to experiment with when I get things a bit better organized around here (hopefully soon!!).
