What lovely photos you have posted :o) I too clean as I go -so much easier to find things AND much more pleasant stepping into "work" each day.cindy shakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01353820195984269329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-60581496868246367672010-06-09T04:43:22.698-07:002010-06-09T04:43:22.698-07:00There is something so beautiful about test tile bo...There is something so beautiful about test tile boards, I love the look of them and your's is great. I can't wait to do some testing in my new kiln and get test tiles up like you have. I have never thought about the glaze while I am making except in cone 10 I did because I knew the glazes so well, now I find when it's time to glaze I am wondering what color should go and perhaps it should be the other way around. I always wipe up my mess at the end of handbuilding, if I don't the cats will track clay everywhere, especially Betty. Now that fairy can come over here for the rest of the house though.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-64989065246175104092010-06-08T18:57:11.019-07:002010-06-08T18:57:11.019-07:00MM,yes the ts was for terra sig.

I haven't really noticed a change in the shine but I am not burnishing to a super shine anyway, just sort of a satin finish. I have a recipe for a stain called patina patina from Claymakers that I think you would like and I think it would look good on your pots. I'll dig it up tomorrow and email it to you. Terra sig can be problematic, but I have been lucky so far with this round. Last year I was having a lot of flaking off. When I was throwing a lot on the wheel I never cleaned up but with hand building I have to or else I don't have a place to work! We need studio fairies to come in at night huh!?Tracey Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560971496423789576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-6961597765371322872010-06-08T18:32:24.146-07:002010-06-08T18:32:24.146-07:00I guess the T.S. is terra sig.

Like making it less shiny?<br /><br />I'd love to figure out some more stains, with or without terra sig for my large tree platters. There's just always something else to do.<br /><br />I like the idea of cleaning up every day after work, but I gave that up years ago. I'd love to build a workshop that I could just hose off at the end of the day. Or how about just pressing a button and shut the door and it would wash itself off, like those public toilets in Europe.Michael Mahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09178266405071704355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-49663747199110195482010-06-08T17:30:21.553-07:002010-06-08T17:30:21.553-07:00Life is good Meredith.

She is 79 and she mentioned that she may only have seven more years since my grandmother died at 86. 7 short years! I doubt it, because my mom is still very young at heart, but 3 months, 7 years, 50 years, you gotta take each day for what it is and savor each moment of it. This evening as the sun set, a family of deer walked up to us in the yard, so peaceful and serene. Carpe Diem! peace girl :)Tracey Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560971496423789576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-8360729862387118172010-06-08T17:11:40.877-07:002010-06-08T17:11:40.877-07:00Hi Tracey- thanks for your kind thoughts for our f...Hi Tracey- thanks for your kind thoughts for our family.<br />Your pictures in this post have such a feeling of calm to me.
