Oh my, what a painful couple of days. I have been ill (for lack of a better word). So, hence the no posting of any kind. It hurt to breathe, to move, to do anything. In that time, besides trying not to pass out from the pain, I have been playing Skyrim, finished the TV series of Buffy, and slept...a lot. Meaning, that there really isn't much to blog about for now. I posted a new pic of the day and now I'm in the middle of watching a different movie called Timer with Emma Claufield (whose also in Buffy) in it. That being said, I am going back to my movie. Enjoy the day, night, evening, whatever it may be for you. Oh and don't forget that today is Monday, go watch The Flog...You know you want to.

Another Day Goes By
But it's not just any day, it's first Friday. lol. First Friday is something that our town and actually many other towns do here in good ol' Oregon, not sure about other states though. All the downtown shops stay open until about 9pm and show art work from featured artists from the area. It's sort of fun and gets people out of the house. The only bad part about it is all of the kids and teeny-boppers running around without parental supervision. But,it's not too bad...wow, that makes me sound like an ol' fart.
Today, I am (what a surprise) here volunteering at the library. Haven't done too much today, just parused online for a bit, played on Podomatic, Facebook, Pinterest, Geek&Sundry, the usual internet spots that I visit often. Most can be found on my link list.
I am having a lot of fun with Podomatic. It's been interesting and a bit of a pain at first, merely because of my computer issues, which I have seemed to taken care of for the most part. My first podcast was finally posted which you can read all about and listen to at Chatter Bubbles, my other blog created just for my podcast.
I am finished with my first week off of school and work, and I can say that it has been a mix of fun, comforting, relaxing and peaceful; but also boring, irritating, and sort of an inconvenience. But hopefully things will look up in the next week to come.

Sock it UP!
A minicast I did using Podomatic. Just something fun, nothing serious.

Having a Thrilling Thursday?
No, not thrilling, sort of foggy actually. I am here at the library again, volunteering. (Yes, I love libraries.) Let's see today has not been filled with much activity, nor was last night. I did however, make another stationary (which is actually spelled stationery) piece last night. You can find it and others on my DA site....if anyone is interested. I am trying to find a way to get prints so I can start selling them, so if anyone knows of a good printing site or place, I'd love to hear about it.
In other news, I have looked into starting a podcast, I know that I said that I would start a video blog, and I most likely will, once I can get my computer situation figured out. But for now, which is also not working out very well, I am trying this podcasting thing. So far all I have is a site with Podomatic at Thought Bubbles. However, nothing is posted yet. I recorded the first episode last night, which was more fun and relaxing than I thought it would be. I am working on getting the episode posted, but it's a slow going process. I will be sure to keep you all informed.
As far as the rest of the day, not too much planned. I am going over to a friend's house to hang out with them and my kitties and maybe play some video games and watch some netflix....oh! or play a card game.

One of Those Days
Well, not much is going on today. I am on my third day of my break in between terms. I wrote a poem for the first time in awhile, but it's not too happy, nor is it too sad. It's mixed and emotional. I'm sitting here volunteering at the community library, from 11am - 2pm. It's been busy off and on, but not too terrible today, nah, it's never really terrible.
Let's see, lately, I have delved a bit into playing Mass Effect 2, Skyrim's new DLC Hearthfire (no, I have not yet downloaded the first DLC Dawnguard yet), Street Fighter X Tekken, and a few others. All have been worth the time and effort and I recommend them all.
These next few weeks may be a bit difficult for me, with not much to do, I may go crazy. I am not working or going back to school until September 24th 2012. I am not one of those people who can spend all day doing nothing and the community library won't need me everyday. I am usually out of town during this down time, however recent events (well, not so recent anymore) have changed the usual on goings of this time. If I had a computer of my own, I'd spend some time putting together some stationary and playing around on Photoshop and/or Illustrator.
Who knows what the next few weeks may bring? I just tried to buy some tickets for Leet UP and couldn't! So that makes me a sad panda! I am going to try it again tonight, so hopefully it will work. *fingers crossed*

Ceramics Post III
Hello there, all of you fellow bloggers and readers. Let's try posting the last of my ceramics, shall we? Or rather, shall I? lol. All that is left are the bowls, which I had a lot of help on (thanks to my teacher Phil, they didn't turn out like poo.) And also my wall hanging thingy.
Bowls by Wheel:
As I might have mentioned before, the wheel was not my favorite. Every time that I tried to make bowls, they would turn out lopsided, holey, or mush. But with the help of my fablous teacher I was able to go home with two. I really like how the glazing turned out on them.
Wall Hanger Thingy:
This next one was not something that we had to do, I just did it for fun. I'm not sure if any of you have seen those planters that hang on the wall...but that was my inspiration for this one. Mine is way to small to put a plant in, but my mom use to have one about the same size that we kept a pen and small note pad in for "while you were out" messages....so that is what I was thinking I may do with mine. It was made by using the slab and pinching technique. The glazing didn't turn out quite the way I wanted it to, but it grew on me. The big design on the top half was made using a stamp, as were some on the bootm half, while some were carved in.
And that is all for now, thanks for taking the time to view my hand crafted items. Hope you all have enjoyed these posts. If you did like them, I don't wish to get anyone's hopes up, but there may be more in the future...It all depends on how next term goes. :-) Take care everyone!

Ceramics Post II
As promised, here are some more finished ceramics. Apologies on the delay, posting isn't that easy when you do not have computer access 24/7. I miss my computer. :-( Anywho, on to the fun stuff.
Slab Vase: (1st attempt)
This vase (and the 2nd one) was made using the slab technique. It's where you take an amount of clay that you plan on working with and roll it out flat and even to the thickness you'd like using a rolling pin or the machine called the slab roller. Afterwards, when glazing ... we used cone 10 glazes. I didn't like too much how the outside turned out, but I really like the inside. After awhile though, I warmed up to the whole thing.
That's it for this post, because I am having troubles with the picture uploader...(again!). So I am going to break this into another one. Leaving you all with a total of three, 3, III, ceramic posts. Hope you all have enjoyed. If you have any questions or comments feel free to leave them and I will be sure to get back to you. Till next time!

Slab Vase: (2nd attempt)
This one was made in the same fashion the first one was, I just chose to get a bit more creative. I really like how this one turned out, I am happy with it. I cannot wait to use it for some beautiful flowers. :-)
Slab Plate: (1st &2nd attempt)
Again, these were made in the same fashion that the slab vases were. I enjoy the one with more of a wall to it because of the way the colors and design turned out, but I did not like the little mishap with the black on one of the leaves. The colors on the purple one turned out nice to. The second one (purple) differs in a few ways, but the major difference is that I added what they call a foot to the bottom of it.
That's it for this post, because I am having troubles with the picture uploader...(again!). So I am going to break this into another one. Leaving you all with a total of three, 3, III, ceramic posts.
