Has anyone ever won the difficult level of Spider Solitaire with the 4 suits? EVER?
I found a studio. It's tiny and caters to very young children whose parents bring them by because their fingers are still too small to play piano. I have yet to see any adults making pieces. But they have clay and glazes and a kiln, and they leave me to my business. I was there for 4 hours today and used s bunch of clay and paid about $4. Not too shabby.
I'm back to making peanuts, and am currently working on a teapot that looks like a mouse. I'm VERY excited about it. I can try to post a picture if someone wants to give me a tutorial on how to do that; I'm kinda sheepish because Dan already did. But then I couldn't connect my laptop to the internet and then my laptop got stolen. That's my excuse anyway. I'm sure the LJ website will show me, but I can't seem to get it to load in anything but Chinese. which doesn't help.
It's funny, while I was in AA I was making pieces that I considered purely a technical exercise, but looking at them now they were an "era" and very reflective of my emotional state at the time. I was warping thrown cylinders and cutting them apart and forcing them back together. And though I considered making a piece like that to start off, to get myself back into the ceramic-swing of things, I find I'm just not interested in deconstruction or stressing a piece's structural integrity and daring it to stay alive. Maybe later. But right now, I'm back to bubbles.
