I can't believe that a year has passed by since I was making last year's '
Hard Rock Challenge' prizes. But 49 mugs are all boxed up ready to be presented to the interpid winners of this gruelling duathlon this coming Sunday. I'm going to be marshalling at one of the posts (in the rain if the forecast is right), and shall be cheering on Allie who is doing both the run and the cycle and has been training hard. She has a good chance of winning one of the mugs which she helped to slip and put handles on.
The 'Noah series' dried out eventually and I'll unpack the bisc tomorrow. It has been so humid that I gave up waiting for them to dry out naturally and resorted to lighting the workshop stove just to get things moving. I hoped to get a few more new pieces finished for the Mainhill exhibition and time was ticking by with damp pots going nowhere.
It was becoming difficult to start anything else as I had a shelf traffic jam and the couple of days throwing last week which has been hogging the benches. What a great feeling to get the kiln packed, get everything moved up and order restored.
Perhaps I should employ this artistic slug to help with a little slip trailing?

Love those mugs - almost worth taking part just to get one! That snail needs to come to a decision about its direction - don't we all!
ReplyDeleteHi, I just published a comment, but since I don't see it I'll give it another go. First, love your site. Second, I wanted to let you know I incorporated your slug/snail image into a poem on my blog (zero profit/portfolio). If for any reason you disagree please let me know and I'll remove it asap. You can contact me at geitsram@gmail.com Below is the link to the poem included beneath your image. Thanks!
