Gotta catch up!
Phheewww... Just finished a long slog of glazing and we're burnt.- But happy! The kiln is loaded to the brim and all tucked in { I finally got to fill all the in between spaces, my masses of jewelry came through the bisque!}
Tim's candling as I type.
It's 4:30 pm Hawaii time which means that we wont turn off the propane till sometime a couple hours past midnight. Which is O.K cos the neighbors know were nuts. In the meantime I figured I'd do a photo dump from the last firings with which to compare and contrast with the results of this firing. I'm excited! We dedicated a third of the top shelf to shot glasses glazed in 3's, for tests. Hopefully we'll discover some killer combos that'll push the work even further. I cant wait!
But maaan I'm tired. ;)
Alright! So without further adoooo
(WORK! March 2010)
Inside of Chawan. (first batch)
Tumblers. (first batch)
More chawan from the first batch.
Favorite tumbler of the firing. (its innards)
Favorite tumbler of the firing (it's outtards) Baking soda drips down the rim.

Juxtaposition
I don't know what does it,
but there are mornings when I wake up and the juxtapositions of the world around us just jump out at me, sharp as a knife
- like the division between sunlight and shade.
Before looks dull against now, the distance of growth in my life is a huge gulf.
All the little daily disappointments when I look at that line, seem petty. It's humbling, inspiring.
I'm really grateful.

Blog Launch!
Greetings everyone, thanks for finding our blog!
I'm stoked to start sharin the pictures and rituals of our daily clay.
We've recently moved from LA to the Big Island of Hawaii and keeping with the momentum of such a large jump we're going all out, making the transition from owning our landscaping company to working in ceramics full time. We feel extremely blessed and motivated to be given the opportunity to make this happen, and we're firing weekly like madmen spending long days in the studio chasing the excitement of inspiration.
As we open up each kiln load I'll post pictures, that way you can share in the Christmas like excitement (or massive disappointment, hah, which sometimes happens) of seeing how the fire's treated us.
Yay!
Until then, ( which will probably be next Thursday) Aloha!
