I think you're right on... On a personal front, we put a solar system on our house last year and trying to do all we can to tread lightly on the earth... That being said, there are still contradictions -- we drive a great big pick-up around much of the time, for example. And, though I try to be very energy conscious in the studio, it's clearly not a very "green" activity. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.

Am also a long-time subscriber. I love the fact that it's "commercial-free," very difficult to do in publishing where easy money could be had with a few full-page ads. The articles are all thought-provoking. I look forward to every issue. Will enjoy reading your article!

As Craig Edwards (Wood Fired Pottery) would say: Your cup collection is bumpin! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing Karen's work... I checked out her website. Beautiful. A master at sgraffito.

2 inches? How cute!... Hey, the AKAR show looks great! BTW: Good luck with camera vs the wrench!

Love those wire-cut rims... Beware the body snatchers.

Congrats! What great promotion for your pots. That one on the bottom right really draws your eye into the photo spread.

Having just recovered from back stuff, I too got a little tweaky looking at your pic. But I do love the b/w photos. Really nice. Love the brushwork too.

Glad y'all got some sun. We take it for granted over here in California... Looks like a lot of glazing work underway!

Hi Michael - Looking forward to seeing how these look on the finished pieces... Wasn't sure what you meant when you said you're painting waxed resist... actually using resist as the painting medium?

Re: Birdland

Patricia Griffin — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 08:58:48 -0000

Never mind my questions... I should have read on... I just checked out your earlier post about the catalogue and Roman Scheidel's work, as well as your images on the "Painting Wax Resist" post. Sometimes I just don't do things in order, and wonder why I'm clueless!

Wishing you a great time -- and wishing I could be there! Have fun!

Re: Cranking

Patricia Griffin — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 12:17:58 -0000

I will totally be along for the ride! And -- horray, horray – I get to see the finished result! We'll be making the journey from California to North Carolina to visit potter friends in Asheville and catch the Spruce Pine Potters Market and Southern Highland Craft Guild Show before heading back home. Hope to meet you and other potter bloggers in person!

Best wishes on getting it all done! You can do it!!!

Hi Michael! Looking forward to seeing more of your bird imagery!... Your mention of the pottery paths to and from the studio, porch kiln and house fridge reminds me of the white footsteps I invariable leave when going to and from my studio and my gallery neighbors. They've threatened to just paint white footsteps leading from my place to theirs. (Sounds like my studio is a mess, but I mop it at least 1x week... Maybe I'm just a messy potter!)

Looking good! Maybe I'll see these up close and personal when I go to the Spruce Pine show!!! Hope I get an opportunity to meet you Michael. Can you tell we're getting excited about our upcoming trip?!... Is it already that cold there? I'd better rethink my packing!

Love the sneak "peek" at the Obamaware! Can't wait to see what all you talented souls create.

Hope it goes well. And hope you get some helpers. We're still in California but I'd bring my whole entourage if we were already in North Carolina!

Hi Michael! How interesting that you used to do majolica. As I look at my BRAND NEW Michael Kline mug here this morning, I would never have guessed that your pottery past included majolica work... Hope you can locate your old slide from the ancient archives!

Looks like a great event. Wish I could be there! Hope it goes will for you and the other artists.
