I SWEAR I'VE BEEN WORKING!!!

These are the 2nd run on the plates I've been working on for a custom dinnerware set...
I'd didn't like the 1st set so I did them...again.
The bowls are done, the small plates are done.
None of it is glazed but... I am moving right along... still have work to do on Jake's 3 costumes...
It's all good.

Did you see this?

PHEW!

It's True

Still NO CLAY POST!!!
I'm JONESING!!!
In case you didn't believe me, Mike took some footage of me SNOWBOARDING
(BLACK DIAMOND BABY!!!) during our vacation.

I'm trying to cheer up...
Vacation Backlash:
I have 3 costumes to make for my son jake...
He's the prince in Once Upon a Mattress for his Middle School Drama Club...
The dress rehearsal is Saturday...
The KNICKERSI bought for him that don't fit can't be returned...over 10 days(we were away!!)
I'm making my own for him...
I broke my printer... removing paper from a paper jam,
I ripped out some ribbon...can't just SNAP it back in!!! Argh...
So I HAVE TO take it somewhere tomorrow...
Can't print USPS labels ...
I have to do it the old fashioned way in person at the post office where:
They WILL hate me...
Had a teapot shipped back to me from a show BROKEN...
I'm doing like 20 loads of laundry...
My skin is molting(yes loverly, I know).
MY tax work is sitting on my desk ready to attack me.
Oh... still more to unpack...

My knee is better though...
Now the other one's bruised...
:)

Snowboarding

Well... I can't upload any good photos from this computer I am using at the place we are staying in Beaver Creek, Colorado...
BUT...
I am having a great time.
We go home on Valentines Day... My taped up knee is surviving...of course the other one is bruised... But... THIS is SNOW BOARDING!
My kids took a lesson today and my husband went back country snow boarding in Vail Pass...So I went in the singles line and got in A LOT of runs..
I tried some trees too,in and out...sometimes successful... and sometimes I wiped out... I DID NOT HIT ANY TREES! But I had done some with the family and this built up my confidence more...
Practiced 360s- on land(both directions)...feels like ballet...
I have decided I like the pattern the board makes in the snow... the s-curves remind me alot of the ceramic work I do....
So...
It's coming to an end tomorrow, I am craving clay.... yummy clay... I have 8 plates to trim and carve and hopefully they stayed damp!!! But I have several things to work on...as usual!
I will try to relax... until I return...then I will try to not stress out!

Ready for Beaver Creek

and snow boarding... all taped on and tomorrow we hit the friendly skies...
this is my knee... taped in place from the last trip... wish me luck... don't worry... I wear wrist guards!

Action Shots...

A friend of mine had to take some photos for her photography class...
Hence... ACTION SHOTS:

A vase is a vase is a vase...anyways...

So these are the 3 pieces I will try and submit to the
500 vases book...
You never know...
500 is a lot of vases...
of course...
there are ALOT of potters...
however...
I like them...
I am happy with the forms and the glazes I mixed up went on nicely as well...
so I can photo and send by the deadline tomorrow...
and ya just never know...
ya know?
