Re: Official Statement from the LIVESTRONG Foundation

Shame on you Livestrong for not standing by Lance. Dumping him when he most needed you to be there and for what? its all about the money. I am sickened by the people that are saying liar liar, so these people have never told a lie, never done anything they needed to be forgiven for? They are perfect? I think not. We all make mistakes and we all need someone to stand beside us when we admit those mistakes. Livestrong could have shown all of us a higher path if they had stood by Lance and set an example for how forgiveness works. Too bad you were more worried about your money and how you would "look"
I think everyone needs to be reminded of how much good Lance has done. So he doped, so did everyone else, where is the witch hunt for all of them? Why aren't the rest of the cyclists banned for life from sports? Just Lance?
Lance got my daughter back on a bike after a two year round with mono, she read his book, cheered for him during the tour and got on her bike, some days when she barely could walk up the stairs.
This world needs to learn to love and forgive, we are a mess........

Honestly I'm not a big fan of the vlogging, if you start, I'll probably visit less. My computer is very slow and the videos don't load that great and all of the zooming around and blur of the camera is too hard to watch, it gives me motion sickness. Guess I'm old fashioned but I actually like to read. I get up really early, have some tea and sit down to read a ton of blogs. It's a nice way to ease into the day!

Re: Close Inspection Reveals Crawling is a Crack

I don't use slip, I use "magic water" 3 TBP. sodium silicate, 5 grams soda ash, 1 gallon water. When I did the Judith Duff workshop she said the same thing. Or I just use a sponge and water. I quit using slip when I taught kid's classes, they made a huge mess and we got lots of cracked seams. I was having trouble with my roof joints coming apart where the coils were applied. I noticed if I rubbed the coils really really good with a wooden tool and made sure the clay was very compressed I had less trouble. Cracks suck, so do pin holes, runny glazes.... blah blah blah!!!

Re: Three Down and 72 to Go

This is so cool. The reason I was curious is that I used to be a
showroom designer for the furniture market in High Point and did some
residential design on the side. I was always working with artists for
accessories, murals, things like that, and now I find myself on the
other side. I have been thinking as these barns develop that I should
contact some designers up in the mts. I would have used them as
accessories for some of the mountain theme showrooms I did in a
minute. It's sort of good that I was the one ordering the work a
while back because I sort of know how designers work and think. I
just gotta get motivated!
Thanks for the email, best of luck with the completion!

I don't know if you would mind doing this, and I would understand but it would be interesting to read a post from you on how this order came about, that hotel is spectacular! Not that I would ever want an order like this, couldn't possibly get my head around an undertaking this big! Good for you though!!!

You should have a print of that made for the owner of that soaking bowl order. Very nice!

Your daughter's work is really lovely! The nesting bowls are so great and I too like the cups in the tray! I know how proud you must be, I would be too!! Congrats to her, looks like she needs a workshop :)

Boy, I know that sound all too well! I get it a lot with quickly glazed pieces for Raku. Clay will teach you patience, that's for sure!

You are just a little energizer bunny! I was thinking about that clay pit in your yard yesterday, while digging in my garden beds and finding lots of nice clay!

ah ha! I was trying to figure out how you got that nice pattern, I thought maybe a serrated rib. Very nice vases/cups, very different from what I'm used to you making, but nice!

Re: Shelf break

tsbroome — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 07:49:33 -0000

Is that shelf from Axner? I had two crack on me and while I was at the Judith Duff workshop last week there were several people complaining about shelves breaking that they had ordered from them. Too bad, I know how it feels to open the kiln to a broken shelf. Craggy crunch, huh. Last time I used that my fingers were bleeding after 10 bowls, but it fires beautifully! Look forward to some pot photos :)

Batter bowls yes! I have several and use them all the time for everything, not just batter. This morning I actually used one to sieve terra sig because it was the closest one to me, how is that for lazy! With your brush work they should be great, I might have to have another one around here!

Re: yay or nay

tsbroome — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 18:56:37 -0000

Nay, it looks like that killing thing in the movie Phantasm! You know, the little ball with the wings on the side? I like the shape of the bowl, just not the ears :) and definitely love that clay body, yummmmm

Thanks for the challenge, gave me a lot to think about and I did manage to get off the tea and computer and get twelve things made. I mentoined this to a friend of mine that teaches at Claymakers and she is going to use this in her class next week. Challenge the students to make twelve things before 12 noon.

Re: Assignment

I LOVE this!!! Just the thing I need to get me motivated. This snow and school closing and Gerry home getting ready for the Olympics has me so distracted I have nothing done. Good assignment!

your chicken pots in the first photo look like they are smirking at you, like they knew something you didn't. Maybe they knew they were too dry :)
too bad, I like these, makes me want chickens!
