In the studio

Sheesh.  The time is flying by. Just 2 weeks until Woodland. I wish I could say that I was ready to go but I'm not. More than likely I'll be working right up until the day before but hey, I work really well with a deadline looming so I'm not too concerned. I am busy but it's an "I'm accomplishing something" busy rather than a "I'm just trying to keep my head above water" busy which is nice for a change. 

I'd also love to say that I've been able to spend every possible moment in the studio creating but unfortunately that just isn't realistic. Ruby duties, appointments with tax lawyers, ordering packaging and signing, working on pricing (ugh), random appointments, grocery shopping, cooking, 30 Day Shred-ing, and collapsing exhausted on the couch to watch Project Runway are all in there too. 

Time in the studio has been spent making spiky cells, prepping for mass glazing, and firings. I feel like this week was a 'make it or break it' week and I needed to get as much stuff done as possible.  Thankfully, I had help in the studio which helped tremendously. 

This part of the process, applying underglaze to enhance the texture, took ALL DAY and they were not all finished. Of course I know how many cells I've made but until you see them all together and are physically working with them it's hard to wrap your mind around just how many that is (about 175 in case you're wondering). Yes, I was very grateful for my help today. 

I am going to try and update a couple more times before the fair but I might end up just posting updates on my artist page (click here to 'like'). I will be doing some sort of giveaway so stay tuned on Facebook to hear the details!
