Some of the stuff I had on dizplay

[morgaina]

I took individual pics too, but they didn't seem to turn out well. You actually can see there was some sunshine on pots. Ummmm sunshine, someday I will see more, I just know it.


Some green stuff, they were fairly popular this year. Past years not so much. I did change the glazes, and surface design, oh and the shape of the pots themselves this year. Maybe they aren't the same work at all?


My personal favorites are the purple series. Ummmm huckleberries. I am determined to go hunting for the real thing this summer.


zee Celtic & Norse Knotwork. I still like doing it.

And the best thing is now I can make more stuff to replace those that sold!

You are SO talented honey. I wish I had the money to invest in a set of your gear. Course then I'd have to invest in the skills to not break them in my dash-crashy lumbering *looks sheepish* The boy? does not break stuff. Me? guilty....

Thanks,

I am concerned about accidental breakage. At one time I sewed a bunch of pouches that were slightly padded for packing pots in feast gear boxes. It was a heck of a lot of sewing to do and I let it slide. Your post makes me think that possibly I should begin packing pouches again.

People often kid us potters that breakage is good for us because we sell more that way. But I usually feel as unhappy about pot breakage as does the owner.

Well I don't know about most folks but I have a terrible track record with pottery but not in the traveling but in the use - I pack very careful and things get wrapped in cloths but I wave my arms around a lot when I talk. Surving a feast is the trick ; )

I've seen your face when someone tells you they've broken one of your peices - there is nothing but sad there.

Breaking pottery is a period practice after all ;-)

I sewed up a bunch of pouches from scrap material - nothing fancy AT ALL - to avoid chipping edges. Doesn't help full on breakage, but helps with the packing.

[copper-oxide.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I use too. A great way to get rid of scraps too.
I was inspired with the pouches when I saw our beloved friend trying to wedge a beaker in a box. She's managed to keep that beaker for over 20 years though, so she must be doing something right. ;-)

Who, me? The Renown Bull in the China (or make that MorgainaWare) Shop? Just curious...

[copper-oxide.livejournal.com]

You inspire us all in so many ways.
Inspiring me that fabric pouches for pottery might be a darn good idea is just one ;-)

[hroar.livejournal.com]

Hutte thoght we shoudl do that for packing pieces after merchanitng..I convencied her it woud lbe too complicated, and the pounches woudl get too out of ourder to to be useful..wed lose them.

[copper-oxide.livejournal.com]

oou! You just reminded me of a wrap design that I watched the candle Lady use at AnTir's Kingdom Arts & Sciences. I asked her if I could use her idea and she generously agreed. It was just a neatly kept pile of fabric that she pulled up one at a time around her ware and tied off with a ribbon.
I was going to work on a variation of this and forgot about it until now.

[hroar.livejournal.com]

thats not a bad idea! Hummmm...

[taisiia.livejournal.com]

Will you be at Crown?

[copper-oxide.livejournal.com]

No, I need to get cracking on my yard work. I haven't done a darn thing and it has reached critical mass.
I'll be at June Fair and Coronation. I don't usually bring my modern work with me at those events though. But could bring some stuff if asked.

Oh and I really miss reading your posts I've been hoping all is well with you. Amby sends kisses.

[taisiia.livejournal.com]

We'll be at Coronation since it's in our backyard. I'd love to see some of your modern stuff and I'm still interested in a cat feeder at some point in the future. :D

Fuzzles to Amby. I'm ok. Just been in a funk for a while.

One cat feeder coming up! (At some point in the future ;-))

I really like you and hope you feel on top of the world soon.

I love love love the green glaze teapots!!!

[copper-oxide.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[khalja.livejournal.com]

Yummy!

[copper-oxide.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you like it. Are you still doing Esty? I am thinking about that.

[khalja.livejournal.com]

I do, but I've never sold anything on it.

That's because I don't advertise it either. My lampwork business has been on hold since December.

[copper-oxide.livejournal.com]

I wonder how people go about selling well on Esty?

Part of the lack of sales might be the economy. I am hoping with the change of administration the future will be brighter and arts will regain the interest of the public rather than just obtaining corporate sponsored Chinese factory outputs. Have you seen Obama's art policy? http://www.communityarts.net/blog/archives/2008/01/barack_obamas_a.php

It's not fair to not show the other candidates arts platforms I know. But I couldn't find them.

Or have I got off on a tangent?

[doll-paparazzi.livejournal.com]

Nice! I like the tea pots!

[copper-oxide.livejournal.com]

Thanks Mercy.

Lovely, I really like the green stuff.

I like the idea of padded storage things, I'm notorious for breaking pottery. My best one was shaking the last few drops out of a mug while standing in a parking lot. At the end I was holding a handle and had shards at my feet. I guess padded storage wouldn't help with that, I'm just a dork. :)

[copper-oxide.livejournal.com]

Sadly, it happens to all of us, including us potters. I have to remember it is a good reminder that all life is transitory.
Hope your Anglo Saxon pitcher and pilgrim's bottle are still OK ;-)
