Join me as I buff the butt of this #WellsXJames cup. Some would throw them out, but they require far too much for me to bring into existence to do that when they are technically salvageable. I also love that the finished result can almost become like an anatomical cross section of a drip. 😍 Looooove these colours, so it's well worth the extra elbow grease to get them over the line. ☺️💕

1⃣ Of the ✌️ cups that didn't have leggy drips running all the way to the kiln shelf... Out of 24. 😭😭
And the glaze is soooooo pretty this time... The lighting and my phone camera are totally not cutting it.
Not that many of you will see this, the algorithm.. Blah blah... My reach is down 90% since last quarter due to not having content due to having had abdominal surgery end of June...

Oh. would you look at the ⌚! it's now!!

Anyhoo.. rant against the "free" platform that has helped me build my business, concludes. 😂😂😂

I've just ordered some sanding discs. 🎉 Not the ones I really want from the USA, cos shipping is going to cost almost as much as the product at this stage...(((side note: Shout out to Adelaide potters... Who wants Diamond Core Tools stuff sometime in the next 6 months and wants to share shipping costs???? Slide into my DMs to discuss Diamonds)))

Didn't realise my nanas colour rules would make it so hard for my brain to like this combo, but it's unusual, interesting and flowyy, so, I'm sure the grey matter will catch on soon. ❤️💖

Not quite what I was expecting. 😅

What happens when you don't read the label of the powders you're mixing up because you assume you bought more of the one you need more of, but forget there's worldwide shortages and you just bought what you could get?

This!

😅❤️↔️💜

Well, the fruit (lbh, 🍒) bowl made it. 🤸‍♂️ 🕺

I have quite a few ideas now this test piece made it out successfully. 🤘

Getting closer to the final product on this one. My first ever go at a banding wheel pour. Glad I filmed it so I can improve, cos there's definitely some 'why did I move my hand THEN?' moments.
Glaze firing hopefully tomorrow weather permitting. 😊 I edited the cover pic and it got flipped upside down. 🙃

Thought I had footage of throwing these guys, but no.. Only of trimming. Got more to make, so must remember not to throw in my pijamas and actually record some mud slinging. ❤️ #simongautherin #WellsXJames

Lil spoonses. 100% making another two dozen of these next make cycle. Spoons have double meaning for me, the metaphorical idea of giving myself more spoons by proxy when my hands are in clay is hard to resist. They're also mostly easy on my body to make, as the chance of air bubbles is so small with such limited clay, so I don't need to wedge it in the traditional sense. I still do a bit of prep to make sure they stay as I form them (mostly.. lookin at you middle right) but don't need to stand up and wedge the clay scraps like I do when I make buttons or studs out of recycled clay.
These are also all off cuts of having made the previous woven Pose-a-Posy bits from the previous post.

From a lino cut I did while I was still living in Helen St... (I used it on revamping the bedside drawers my day made me in the early 80s. I distinctly remember proudly photographing it under the hills hoist there, as a chronological life anchor) So that means it's at least 17 years old... And thus concludes the lesson in why I'm a hoarder.

So... The white is actually sunken and the dark chocolate is raised... But it srsly doesn't look that way in this shot. 🤷, 🧠's amirite?

The effin pinholes are a problem I'm trying to resolve. 🤞🤞

So, as a result of the designing stuff suitable to carve into clay with my current toolset, I was reawakened to my love of lino printing and the cross over of skills... So I've used my clay profits to buy a stamp cutting craft kit from ol' spotlight....
And y'all.... I haven't been able to stop myself since Thursday.. To the point of having my worst night "sleep" in months... Oops.

The way I get lost in stuff is both a blessing and a curse...

Just a teensy bit more tweaking to perfect the thickness of this glaze.

Was nice having this being my bed rest view for a change. How is it already 2 weeks since we got back?

Just realised I used the incorrect image for this lil moon dish (with 12K gold details) on my website. Do love that I can update these things from my phone in bed. 👍💜

The slight texture on this darling is from my lil nan in laws crochet, now immortalised in stone, glass and gold. (dang, now I want to start a business with that name. [starting businesses is a hobby of mine 😬] )
