A LITTLE BIT OF PAINTING

 
 
Made these two dishes with white earthenware,
following Gail Kennedy's technique.
A bit bland, but wanted to keep them white
with a clear glaze, hence a bit of
underglaze painting.
 
 
 
Don't forget to check out the works of other potters at Mud Colony.

FRUSTRATED WITH THIS BLOG

FED  UP ....... I'm just about to tear my hair out with this blog.  Wanted to use the Dynamic Screen, but had so much trouble with it, have reverted back to "Simple".  As I'm Simply Annie, I suppose
that is what I should stay with.  Have been dithering back and forth with different blog
"looks" for a few weeks now, finally will just leave it as it is now. 
 
Have added a photo of the new look egg cup + egg.  Sorry couldn't add the toast fingers,
it has not been bisqued yet.

SUNDAY, BUSY SUNDAY

The results of trying something a little different

Part of a new range, these are egg cups, underglaze painted only at this stage.

""EXCITED''

 
It doesn't take much to get me excited these days, but today I am very very excited.
You see,  for the last few years, have had to fill the washing machine by hand at every
stage, manually turn the dial to spin, etc. etc.
 
WELL, today the machine has been hooked up to the large water tank
 (which had a leak, so therefore could not do this before) 
and now I can just load up the machine and walk away, and wait
for the load to finish.
 
BLISS..... I have done 3 loads in the time it would take to do  1.
What used to take all morning for 1 load, I can now do 3 or 4 loads.
Of course, then there is the ironing, but it can wait,
I've more important things to do, like throwing, turning, glazing, etc.
