nor the easily offended. But still, my new favorite video! Introduced to me by Ann and her friends this Thanksgiving. So you can blame the corruption on them. -grin- Warning: contains cusswords, disobedience, lack of fiscal responsibility, and other potential disappointers to those of the parental persuasion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYnn51C3X_w
I was so disappointed that when I left New Mexico I hadn’t found any micaceous clay to bring back with me. I wanted to experiment with it and see what I could make it do in my electric kilns. Unfortunately no one on the reservations would sell it to me; and since I left on […]
The terra cotta paint looks just great. I put the “before” picture up too so you can get an idea of just how awesome. -grin- I got two coats on tonight, plus retouching the white on the ceiling and baseboards. Finally, that part is done. Too bad the hardest part is yet to come.
