I have a cunning plan...

So I was off work last week, well Tuesday through Friday, and was able to spend a lot more time in the studio.  That’s why there were so many blog posts so quickly, but now I’m back at work and back to spending only about an hour or so a night in the studio.  So these posts will also slow down, just because I won’t be able to do as much.  Which is okay I’ll just have to make the time spent there count a little more, try to plan what I’m going to do in advance so I don’t spend my hour trying to figure out what to throw or build.  That’s what happened tonight, I went out there without a plan and nothing I tried to throw worked out.  Everything was off center, too heavy, or just collapsed under the guidance of hands that didn’t quite know what they wanted to do.  So now I’m going to spend a little time each day figuring out what I want to do in the studio that night, and what I want to accomplish for the week.  So I’m off to make some kind of plan for tomorrow night so I don’t repeat what happened tonight. Thanks for visiting.

A Bowl with a Hook

Here are some yarn bowls I've been working on.  Keturah designed the hooks for me, and I cut them out of the bowls.  They look pretty good I think, I'm excited to see them finished.

Once more in to the Studio

I’m finally back in the studio after almost two years (seems like a lot longer).  I’m trying to get into a schedule that works with Ewan, which means I can only fit in about an hour to an hour and a half during the week, and a little more on the weekends.  I tend to go out to the studio when he goes in for his bath, after that its bed time for him so I can stay out as long as I want, but I have to get up at 3:30am to get ready for work so I’m usually in bed by 8:30pm.  It’s not much time but it’s enough to get back in the rhythm of the studio.  Well I need to get back to wedging some clay and getting ready to throw.  Thanks for visiting.

Enso Arts Next Top Project!

Keturah went to a Norman City sponsored rainwater collection class yesterday and picked up a free rain barrel (her mom also went and picked up four free rain barrels,  a friend of theirs didn’t want theirs and they had some extra barrels after everyone went through the classes). 

So we ended up with five 30 gallon rain barrels, so you can see what our next big project is: Rainwater Collection System.  Keturah learned a lot at the class, and is ready to put her knowledge to work.  First though is to get permission from the land lord to put up a line of guttering on the back of the house, fingers crossed that they let us.  Our plan is to use three barrels and daisy chain them together so that when one fills up it will over flow into the next and so on.  The other two barrels we will see if some of our friends want them, if not we will add them to our chain, cannot have too much water.  Once we get this project rolling we’ll post an update.
