Working, working on new work, new solutions for surfaces. I have been testing terra sigillata on items fired at cone 6 and it seems that that has many possibilities for my work. Thank you to all those who have generously posted recipes and information on terra sig.

In addition, the idea of painting on fired surfaces has caught my interest. One artist in particular has wonderful solutions. Lidya Buzio, is such an inspiration. Wondering if glazing is really what I am after.

Multi-tasking as usual, I have mixed a batch of Otto Heino Million Dollar Yellow and hope to test that soon........

Two Books

Two books which have enriched my life lately, Patti Smith's, Just Kids and Jonathan Spence's Mao Zedong.

First, could not put down Just Kids, about Patti and Maplethorpe's young life in NYC. What a read!

Now, a good review of what happened in China (Mao Zedong), flowing well written event filled from the 19 teens to , well, the 1950's so far. What an affirmation and review of what I once knew and shocking to read the destruction of art. Narcissism rules with a leader again, as his power evolves.
