Where's My Breakfast?
Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 8:29AM 
I managed to get about half way through my studio clean up yesterday. I swear Karma has sheaded off enough hair to make another small dog.I've also been pouring over books and internet sites looking at Iznik pots and imagery and at German folk pots. I expect to be making some work later in the week, maybe, and playing around with new ideas from these sources.
I made a few pots at Penland with botanical deco. and I think that may be a direction I take for a while as I explore my animals in my sketchbook (instead of on pots). The two will probably merge later.
I'm sure I'll come no where close to the beautiful palette of those Iznik pots. I'm gonna be busting out some of my old glaze tests searching for a blue that I like. ( I wish I'd played around with more of those Amaco glazes at Penland).
I still haven't completely unpacked my truck. All my tiles are in there and I want to get them out and have a look again. I'm meeting my clay pals Amy and Jen tomorrow for a couple hours to talk pots. I look forward to that.
Okay well, it's time for breakfast. For some reason it's not ready and waiting on me here like it was at Penland......bummer.

it's a hard life when you have to make your own breakie....
yep, pour the milk
It's been 4 years and i still miss the Penland breakfasts...
livin' for bacon - is easy livin...
hey - as per Karma - i recently broke down and bought 'the Furminator' dog grooming brush - worth every penny.
Stoked to hear that Penland's got you loaded for bear.
I'm looking forward to see where the Iznik interests lead you.
10 percent through with the studio cleanup here....then glazes and clean the rest of the house: I am not throwing until this cleanup is finished! I have a nice showroom for the first time though, Ron, pictures just blogged....
