I expect, like me find yourself looking at everything as potential!<br />Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941407276963445940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983075382492557006.post-38072897011816811412015-12-29T16:43:04.141-08:002015-12-29T16:43:04.141-08:00Christine, I love your work!

I too do slab work and I have spent a very long time searching for moulds and various other ways to support my pieces. You mention a curved plaster mould above----- could you tell me if it was purchased or if you made it? mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08793591071667035375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983075382492557006.post-4379657666000049542011-01-03T01:16:33.532-08:002011-01-03T01:16:33.532-08:00Commissions Ang, - now that is a whole blog in its...Commissions Ang, - now that is a whole blog in itself, I can feel one coming up in fact. Generally speaking they are often pretty fraught, but I am getting a LITTLE better at saying no to the ones which are way off track, (I can hear Rodger snorting), and only accepting the ones which feel good to do. Well, that is the plan. In some ways they can be seen as giving me that push to do something extra, and those ones can be most rewarding, but I have definitely had my fair share of absolute shockers - which are invariably the ones which go wrong and have to be repeated. And don't even begin to ask me about mispelling/wrong dates etc on commemorative ware!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941407276963445940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983075382492557006.post-49711664781091167762011-01-01T15:41:00.353-08:002011-01-01T15:41:00.353-08:00ha party penguins....i was just cruising through t...ha party penguins....i was just cruising through this post and read the commission line...i'm having flashbacks my venture into commission land is fraught with massive challenges and disasters.. do you have those moments too or is it that your commissions are the work that you already do so there's not the major dramas anymore ? anyhoo happy new year...ang designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10818952156682990100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983075382492557006.post-62249297257888786282010-12-23T22:02:04.028-08:002010-12-23T22:02:04.028-08:00Happy Christmas to you.

For some reason it hadn't occurred to me that the eclipse would be visible from both the northern and southern hemispheres at the same time (but I'm a simple soul!). Well done keeping up the good work with everything so cold! Our cats send their sympathies to yours... Our ones have the opposite problem, as they are currently too hot, and are having to make do with cooling off on the lino in our hall! It is a tough life being a cat!Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983075382492557006.post-43017298987560230202010-12-22T03:41:50.887-08:002010-12-22T03:41:50.887-08:00Lovely photo of the Lunar Eclipse Christine.
