The problem is finding the space to use it, and an appropriate surface - last time I used my rickety old kitchen table and I thought it was going to collapse!Undauntedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11600222853782999884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840948829877300435.post-63398531177921744622008-10-25T13:29:00.000+01:002008-10-25T13:29:00.000+01:00Wow!So much going on.

I can see your addiction too. Awesome. We always need more clay people in the world.<BR/>Can't wait to see more. I love hearing your excitement. It comes through the computer.<BR/><BR/>Sorry you have to take a week off. Can you bring clay home with you to work with?Leanne Piziohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906128505167788108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840948829877300435.post-17958156229722842522008-10-24T17:58:00.000+01:002008-10-24T17:58:00.000+01:00Yes, I agree Cynthia, although the other one wasn'...Yes, I agree Cynthia, although the other one wasn't finished I still think this one was better from the start - probably because the first one was a bit of a rush and I was making it up as I went along, whereas this second one was planned out in my mind before I got to class. I didn't mind scrapping it at all. The tutor was trying to encourage me to continue with the old one, but I'd made up my mind that I was going to start again. I obviously failed at trying not to be a perfectionist!<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately it's already too late to add feet - I didn't wrap the piece at all because I thought it was finished and left it to dry. I emailed the tutor to see if he could add feet the following evening but he said it would already be too dry as it was locked in the cupboard with the kilns and they were on all night! Hubby came up with a great idea though - he suggested I make a little stand for it, so I shall do that. Thanks for your advice though Cynthia :)Undauntedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11600222853782999884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840948829877300435.post-32350147575644188392008-10-24T16:36:00.000+01:002008-10-24T16:36:00.000+01:00This one is much much better than the first one - ...This one is much much better than the first one - so great idea to scrap the other. I know it's hard to do, but in the end, you don't want to be like me. I'm now in the position of breaking and throwing old work out. <BR/><BR/>In the beginning, everything was precious and I was loathe to toss anything.<BR/><BR/>If you covered your piece tightly, you can still add feet to it. If you can't get in to add the feet now, you can make them at home if you have any of the same clay body to use. Also, use a little paper clay slip if the studio has it, otherwise, make some paper clay slip at home. Saturate toilet paper with boiling water. Allow it to sit overnight. After it is like clouds and easily disintegrates just by touching, add either dry clay scraps and allow the clay particles to slake down. Mix it up till it's thicker than cream. Ready to use next time around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840948829877300435.post-539052465815890352008-10-22T05:14:00.000+01:002008-10-22T05:14:00.000+01:00Thank you Jafabrit, I'm glad you've been enjoying ...Thank you Jafabrit, I'm glad you've been enjoying my pieces.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Thank you Kathy.
