Mild procrastination tactics: engage!
So I've got 2 monster papers due tomorrow. Kind of.
The one was due last week but she gave us all a week grace period on it... because that's what she does?... and so the grace period's up tomorrow. That one's for adolescence; I interviewed my siblings and I'm rating their moral and intellectual development. I'm trying hard not to stage them by what I know but rather by what they said.
The other is due in several weeks, but we have to have a rough copy for peer editing for tomorrow. I'm kind of making up the whole thesis thing as I go along. I'm just talking about maiolica, pretty much, and in that, the crazy 5-piece stackable vessel sets that new mothers were given to eat restorative chicken soup out of (I'm pretty sure that somewhere I read what else they were used for, but chicken soup is the one that keeps popping in mind.)
Haven't double-spaced either one yet; the Adolescence one is supposed to be 6-8 and I've got 4 and a bit pages already; the Renn Rome one is 10-15 and I have almost 2. Plus notes. (Aka, Allison needs to get on this paper writing train.)
However, I went for a walk in the beautiful sunshine up to the ceramics studio... not because I was going to play with clay, mind you, but because I knew that a glaze firing had come out. And I had mixed up 4 glazes from scratch and had very little idea what they were going to do. (The black-to-green is a matt black, no green. The shino looks like a shino - orange-red when thin and white when thick. The peach temmuko didn't break peach, which was a bummer, but alone it's a gorgeous metallic-y terracotta cranberry color. The MN Gold is pretty much my new favorite glaze. It goes streaky and creamy and drips down the side of the piece beautifully - almost looks like a cross between a salt and a crystal glaze... makes me happy. A white/peach which looks beautiful with our blues.) Took me a while (longer than I had hoped) to figure out which glazes were which - I had numbered the pieces, but some of the glazes ate my numbers. Alas!
