<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The clay studio is set up and I have been doing some clay work but I've decided to officially retire. I no longer want to be packing and shipping pots. My focus in the studio will be to experiment with the ideas I've not yet had time to work on. And I hope to get busy in the sewing room with more than household necessities. But until I have more to share my posts will mostly be over at my <a href="https://ourfloridayard.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">new blog</a> which chronicles our new native yard as it grows and matures, changes and adapts. There's always something new in the garden whether it be something blooming, butterflies or fascinating insects and the pond behind us attracts such gorgeous birds! </span>Ginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01364409485592210668noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210556460646124901.post-62830318986814422072018-02-23T21:41:00.000-05:002018-02-23T21:41:55.616-05:00First Glaze Firing Since 2016!<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As I was working on mixing up glazes I ran out of frit 3134 so just did some tests of what I had made and glazed a few pieces. </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The test tiles starting from the right are Licorice, Bright Sky Blue and Variegated Blue, all from Mastering Cone 6 Glazes and I believe they may all be in John Britt's book as well. The far left is my mix of of the two blues. I'm torn as to which to choose for my new dishes as Var. Blue is a greenish gray and goes great with the green fabric I bought to make placemats. My mix of the blues goes great with the blue placemat fabric. So maybe I'll just use them both, just as I plan to do with the fabrics! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I mixed one other glaze or thought I had! I mixed up what was supposed to be Waterfall Brown but it sure didn't work like Waterfall Brown. It's on the saucer below. I had used it on the blue dish above and the brush strokes came out extremely light so I refired with black on top. I finally figured out what I did. I had typed a 2 instead of 3 on my recipe sheet and used Frit 3124 instead of 3134; big difference! I've been playing with my program to see if I can somehow make it right but there's so much silica and alumina in it now I think I'll just make a new batch and use this for what it is on sculptural work. It has it's own charm.</span><br />

The past 24 months have been a blur as we went through a move from South Florida to Central Florida. I miss my classes in Boca but I know they are in good hands. I remember the advice from my first pottery instructor; learn from as many different teachers as you can as each one will give you different information and ideas. From there you can go on to use what works best for you and develop your own style. And remember to continue to learn! </span><br />

We decided to have a theme this year and will be featuring totems!<br />

None of us had made a totem before so it has been fun to see what we have each come up. Above is the first one I made last spring to try it out. I call it 'Potato Rocks' and after having sat in a few places in the garden it now sits with my garden boots at the side door. It is about 14" tall.<br />

Then I thought I had better make something taller. This one is taller than me. Then with some leftovers from my Potato Rocks and other pieces I put together "Leftovers", quite whimsical and perhaps my favorite of the ones I've made.<br />

I'm toying with how I could put these old clay prototype roses together into a totem.....<br />

Although I'm happy with my totems I'm even more excited about all the totems being made by members of our classes!

<br />
This is the ad for the new ceramics course being offered in the spring session at FAU in Boca Raton by <a href="http://martyfielding.com/" target="_blank">Marty Fielding</a>. Wow, 3d modeling and printing! Although I prefer my handmade to be literally hand-made, it is exciting to see ceramics merge with the digital world. I'm confident that there will still be a devoted group of younger clay artists who keep the traditional art and craft of wheel throwing and hand-building alive. I'd hate to think that clay will go the way of check-out counters where when the power goes out no work can be done! <br />

In between reading, cooking, baking, hiking, tennis and summer veg time I did some fiber work. The past few summers I had a <a href="http://tangledtextiles.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Tangled Textiles</a> challenge quilt to complete and I missed that so decided to make my own challenge and came up with three little wall quilts.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I used some sun printed as well as procion dyed fabrics to create this one, inspired by the water and vegetation. I went for simple quilting lines and lots of it, using up lots of old spools of thread. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi26cdCyEvu4L3jfHWK4eK4Y_OSXPw2nPbRsE2ifOYcli6Cy4aK7SEICaiI8SFaiiKcDJK-iqf-gaFaXjxwpoOXnXWGnNyQHtwZ_PfCMYgF8_oULTnIjdJeBc86L3E_qdH8I4fqzJQsC5s/s1600/DSCN8827+%2528640x474%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi26cdCyEvu4L3jfHWK4eK4Y_OSXPw2nPbRsE2ifOYcli6Cy4aK7SEICaiI8SFaiiKcDJK-iqf-gaFaXjxwpoOXnXWGnNyQHtwZ_PfCMYgF8_oULTnIjdJeBc86L3E_qdH8I4fqzJQsC5s/s320/DSCN8827+%2528640x474%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Then I used a piece of my hand-painted fabrics below. I cut the fabric into strips and made tiny seams adding in the inlays. Again I used simple line quilting. <br />

My third little quilt isn't as colorful but it has lots of meaning to me as I used mussel shells for a circle of life, blues for the ocean and sky, quilted abstract overhanging trees from the cliffs and round rock shapes for the shore, then added fringe to represent the seaweed I found along the shores. This one takes me back to summer vacations by the ocean. </div>

Garden news will come yet. And with back to clay time comes back to teaching. Classes begin next week but if you're thinking of joining but are a snow bird or for whatever reason can't be there at the start you can join anytime. Happy Autumn Everyone!</div>

I'd never been there before so everything was new to me. We did lots of internet research before going and our friend and friends of friend showed us some of the surrounding areas....the ride up into the hills to visit <a href="http://asawright.org/" target="_blank">Asa Wright Sancutary</a> was just as much fun as seeing the birds and forest.</div>

We thought that finidng vegan food would be tough as all the restaurants that were advertised as vegan were only open for breakfast and lunch but we found a great restaurant for Friday evening, <a href="http://www.venimange.com/" target="_blank">Veni Mange</a>. An email inquiring about vegan options led to a special menu on our table, typed up just for us! The food was delicious, home cooked style with lots of flavor. We also found that the buffet at Asa Wright offered enough side dishes that were vegan including eggplant, rice with veggies and lentils. Our <a href="http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/trinidad-and-tobago/hilton-trinidad-and-conference-centre-POSHIHH/index.html" target="_blank">hotel</a> was also very accomadating, ordering soy milk for our coffee and breakfast and letting us know what was in each of the intriguing dishes we had not seen before. I was very surprized to find some wonderful flavours as I'm not usually a fan of the hot spicy flavors of local Indian restaurants here in Florida. <br />

Our Saturday night dinner was also delicious at BUZO Osteria Italiana. I had the best pasta dish, simply pasta, tomatoes, basil and amazing flavour! And the coconut mint frozen dessert was the best.<br />
Before heading to the airport on Sunday we took a quick stroll around the Queen's Park Savannah near our hotel. The jacaranda trees were in bloom, first shot near the Botanical Gardens.<br />

Oh, anyone know the name of this bird? We saw several of them in the Savannah.<br />
Update: Thank you to our friend Ronald from Trinidad for inquiring about this bird ... it is called a Southern Lapwing. Interesting reading about this bird at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_lapwing" target="_blank">wikipedia</a>.<br />

It fired to a full cone 7 so will work at developing my own program now that I can make a good guess at actually temperatures. A nice plus with my new little kiln is with two thermocouples I expect the kiln should be firing pretty evenly.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;"> Besides testing the glaze program I also did some glaze tsting. I was looking for a satin or metallic black to use on this bell. Rather than start from scratch I looked for something that already looked close. I found one but it's only colorant was some copper carb. Although it had some zinc in the recipe I wondered if the carb was actually oxide or if it was missing something like cobalt or manganese. So I added 10% RIO to half the test mixture and put it on my bell. </span></div>

Turns out the original recipe was not misprinted and did produce a black but I'm glad I added the RIO as it gave exactly what I was hoping for. The original recipe test below. </div>

Another test was for a purple. Although I like it, it is a semimatte so I would want to test it well before using it functional work. It has a silica/alumina ratio of almot 9 so I was expecting a glossy glaze although it does have some magnesium in it. I think I'd like to use it on a totem that I'll make as part of our class project next year. The first test in on my clay, Mike's Stoneware from Axner and the second is on one of our studio clays, Buff from Highwater. They are actually closer than the photo shows.<br />

One other glaze test was a very old one from my FAU days. It was one of my made from scratch recipes for an assignment. I found the old sample and dug out my recipe. It is actually a little glossy which surprized me as the original test was fast cooled and it was super dry. I like it a lot, however it is definitely not a glaze for functional ware as it has very little alumina. I think it will work well with the purple on my totem.<br />

That same glaze is on the lower two thirds of the vessel next to the test, then Waterfall brown from the rim down halfway. I like how they worked together.<br />

A good reminder about refiring: I put this beer tumbler in to refire hoping to seal over a couple pinholes that were bothering me. I added a little bit of glaze to the rim and that was it. However with the refire and the kiln going to cone 7 it sure ran! Reminds me of one of those drip candles from the 70's. Ideally I would only refire to cone 5 but I'm not a big fan of refiring to fix things so I rarely have much that I'd fill a kiln for cone 5.<br />

Above is copper oxide. I usually stick to iron as I like its effect and it is safer than other oxides. However I really like the more orange color on this piece above. Just realized it came from the last load of my old kiln but my new little kiln gave me another cap jar below....<br />

A few days ago as I was cleaning up a patch of the garden this beautiful swallowtail swooped right in and around me, landing on and off of what remains of my parsley. Luckily I had my camera hanging around my neck so I tried to grab a few shots.<br />

Once uploaded onto my computer I could see that it was a she and she was a black swallowtail. I was thrilled because I had never seen a black swallowtail, at least not that I know of. I should have because we've had lots of dill and carrot plants.<br />

I went back out and tried to find the eggs but didn't see any. I wondered if they had already been eaten by one of the many predators in the garden. But two days ago I spotted several tiny caterpillars.<br />

Yesterday I could only find two left but they had grown some and must have moved into their third instar. This is a photo taken this morning. I hope there's enough parsley for them and even more important I hope they stay safe out there in the jungle. I'm hoping for more black swallowtails!<br />

I just did my first bisque and glaze loads since December! I never thought I'd give up my Skutt and downsize but when there was a good kiln sale going on just as I was thinking I'm not doing as much clay work as I used to do and I'd like to fill a smaller kiln more quickly, doing more experimental work, I decided it was time to downsize. I ordered a smaller L&L which should make changing elements easy (which I was not looking forward to as my Skutt gets closer to needing new elements plus at the same time I would replace some bricks that had been damaged through it's last move). Bonus: I won't have to stand on my toes or head to reach the very bottom of the kiln!<br />

First photo is loading the bisque then some of the glazed work after unloading earlier this week.<br />
<br />
Now to decide, what to do with my Skutt... wish I had a larger garage so I could keep it for those times I really want to make something taller than 18". Guess when that happens I'll just work out ways to put my work together post-firing.<br />
<br />
My new kiln should be delivered today!Ginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01364409485592210668noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210556460646124901.post-71424961649923333412015-05-07T08:23:00.000-04:002015-05-07T08:23:33.486-04:00Gelli Printing Fun<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I saved some of the plastic grab bag pieces from Halloween as we didn't have many trick-or-treaters. I never thought I'd press a skeleton into my clay but I was very happy with the results, will post a photo in another blog.<br />

I wish I had taken more photos but the evening was for setup so just quickly grabbed a few. Will take more tomorrow morning. There's always a wonderful variety of both functional and sculptural work.<br />

(head over to see the rest of the group quilts!) Vicki had given us "Process" as our theme this time which meant we could do whatever we like as long as we documented our process. Having too many choices can make decisions tough and it took me a LONG time to move from sketchbook to fabric. I ended up going fairly simple in my design and chose to take a photograph from the garden which is where I've spent so much of my time the past couple months. Below are a few photos taken to document my "Process" of Garden 2014.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The other part of the show is a colorful joint effort of vessels thrown by Allie and glazed by Anita. The concept behind this body of work is based on Anita's heritage where traditional pots were decorated with images of everyday life. Today we share images everyday through social media so this mother-daughter team took this idea and illustrated everyday events on their parts. The faces you'll see are their friends and family. Had you been at the opening you would have seen an i-pad on the wall asking you to take a 'selfie' which might become a modern image on one of their next vessels. Great concept and I look forward to seeing more of their work!</span></span></div>

Why paper-clay? Paper clay is much lighter than regular stoneware so it allows me to make large pieces with thick slabs or walls yet they are quite light. The paper clay I use is stoneware clay with the addition of paper pulp. Paper clay also has a strong dry strength so greenware is not as fragile as regular greenware as the paper fibers help hold the clay together. The one disadvantage I find is that the moist clay will mold quicker with the addition of paper in it. But that simply urges me to use that clay up and keep creating!Ginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01364409485592210668noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210556460646124901.post-66046193925083951132014-10-24T12:16:00.001-04:002014-10-24T12:16:38.622-04:00The Queen in South Florida<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One could say "isn't the Queen the Monarch?"! I hadn't even considered the similarity in the names of the Monarch and the Queen until just now as I started to write this post. I suppose their royal-like presence is what inspired their names. (hmm something to research)<br />

I had seen some Queen butterflies in the yard but not until a few weeks ago had I seen the Queen caterpillar. While inspecting some of the eaten up milkweed I spotted this little guy. There are certainly some similarities to the Monarch caterpillar especially the coloring but the stripes are certainly different and there is that extra set of tentacles and aren't those red dots cool?!<br />

The pink flowers in the background are salvia. These photos were taken in my wildflower garden so everything grows like a jungle. However the jungle is getting a major thinning right now after a summer of running super wild!<br />

The Rolling Harbour Abaco blog post had a fun opening with a take from Paul Simon's song with <a href="http://rollingharbour.com/2014/10/08/50-ways-to-please-your-plover-piping-plovers-on-abaco-2/" target="_blank">"Fifty Ways to Please Your Plover"</a>!</span><br />

<img alt="Piping Plover - Danny Sauvageau" height="293" src="https://rollingharbour.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/cc3a436db527065f497cd43e35517b14_large.jpg?w=652" width="400" /><br />
Piping Plovers make their nests in the sand just above the water line so people often unknowingly run over them with vehicles, dogs not on leashes destroy the eggs and nests, we simply walk on them oblivious to their being there and we also destroy their nesting areas by building seawalls, dredging the beaches, etc.<br />
<a href="http://www.audubon.org/plover" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.audubon.org/sites/default/files/plover/images/photos/plover.Unknown-12[1].jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.audubon.org/plover" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.audubon.org/sites/default/files/plover/images/photos/PIPL_Goldenrod_chicks.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.audubon.org/plover" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.audubon.org/sites/default/files/plover/images/photos/KIds%20signs_0715.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.audubon.org/plover" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.audubon.org/sites/default/files/plover/images/photos/20120526_Audubon_Hatteras_0287.jpg" /></a><br />
Two things Piping Plovers cannot live without are tidal flats and roosting sites above high tide. Often Plovers return from their migration to find their resting grounds destroyed, whether it be on the beach or an inlet that has been walled up, dredged or mined for sand. Hence more Plovers won't survive and again their numbers dwindle as humans take over their homes, often unknowingly. We need to educate ourselves about the life of other animals on this planet so that we can act responsibly and respectfully.<br />

given me this honor to participate in the Blog Around the World. When you visit
Dolores's blog you're welcomed by her header photo of scenes from <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Canada</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Just
read her sidebar under "About Me" to learn what, where and when of
the photo. Dolores is a hand-quilter, something I admire as I use my machine
whenever possible so it's enjoyable to see others who are so good with the hand
needle. She also knits, another skill I have never learned and she visits and
takes fabulous photos at quilt shows ...and she shares those photos with her
readers. I visit very few shows so I really enjoy the virtual show tours

round. A few pots need stitching added to them and mini quilts need to be made
for a few others.</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><i><span style="font-family: Arial;">2. How does my work differ from others of its genre?</span></i></b><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial;">I think the most obvious is that I like to mix my two passions
of clay and fiber together. I started with simply weaving rims on pots, then
started adding stitching on pots and making mini quilts for vases, wall pieces,
teapots, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial;">I often incorporate bits of nature like petals and seeds into my
work or simply add a few clay beads or buttons to finish a quilt.</span></div>

<b><i><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial;">3. Why do I write/create what I do?</span></i></b><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial;">For the 'create' part of the question I'm sure everyone who
creates any sort of art or craft knows the feeling of doing it because we have
to, something in us makes us want to create with our hands. It is simply who
and what we are. Each time I clear my tables, put away my supplies something
nags at me to pull it all out again, stare at it until I'm suddenly busy
cutting, sewing, throwing or whatever it takes to try and create what I see in
my mind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial;">For the 'write' part of this question it started when I joined
the Quilting Arts forum several years ago and people were meeting and sharing
their art. I'd visit all sorts of blogs to see others' work and as we met each
other online I was asked "where's your blog?" and </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial;">that's when my blog started. I enjoy meeting and sharing ideas
with others and I also like </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial;">to have this sort of journal of a few of my creative endeavors
along with lately, photos of nature from my yard.</span></div>

<b><i>4. How does my writing/creating process work?</i></b><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial;">I start with brainstorming then make quick sketches or notes of
my ideas. Some of my </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial;">starting thoughts include questions for myself like do I want to
make a statement, create a conceptual piece or do I want to create art for the
sake of art, something aesthetically pleasing? Do I want to focus on a certain
subject, shape, form, colour, etc?</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial;">Do I want to focus on a technique or is the piece to dictate the
techniques used?</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial;">From the sketches I start pulling out the materials I may
use and then more brainstorming as I pile, sort, rearrange, making changes and
notes in my sketchbook. Then finally I start cutting and sewing or the
equivalent with the clay. And finally here are a few of my past quilts......</span></div>
