iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

First attempt at nerikomi this week. Need to make more bisque or plaster molds for some different shapes, but I can see this being incredibly addictive. Some minor smudges that will hopefully sand out. #pottery

Two small shallow pottery bowls sit on a rumpled muslin cloth atop a wooden table. In one, two shades of blue checks alternate with the natural colour of the clay to form a checkered pattern. In the second, the same three shades form an alternating houndstooth pattern.

The combo of AI slop search and Meta nonsense means I have resorted to asking actual people questions in person which is horribly really.

Dear local business owners: a Facebook page is not a website. Repeat: a Facebook page is not a website. Ugh.

I think we should skip them in the bucket of Halloween handout treats. This is Elm Street

Because the track is in poor condition and you will derail if you go any faster.

He also will tell you that the big fluffy white dog two doors down is an evil spy imposter but I wouldn’t believe him without proof.

So started feeling sick Saturday afternoon. Spent yesterday in bed. Woke up still sick. Since rest didn’t work, reverting to my usual “pretend everything is fine” and pounding cold meds.

No, I think the timing part of that. If I wasn’t sick I would have turned off the skins game simply because it was taking way too long.

They definitely could have benefited from a time clock! But there has been some excellent shotmaking.

Watching the Battle skins game from last night. Distracted by the paint job on the rings. Must have been a really rushed install.

It was a beauty sunset. Ern dog and I just got back from our evening meander.

Thanks! I like playing in the mud. Very expensive mud.

After two months of no pottery because of moving and travel, I got back in the studio this week. The first night was 3 hours of prep and glazing. Tonight was mostly glazing too but I did colour some clay to do nerikomi next week! Hope the flowerpot cups are visited by the magnificent kiln gods 🤞

Two bisque fired and glazed beer tumblers sit slightly offset on a shelf, awaiting a trip to the kiln. The clay is a red brown colour, and features a carved scene of the flowerpot rocks in the bay I Fundy, surrounded by glazes that will hopefully transform in the kiln

Three rows of three small vessels sit on a shelf, covered in powdery looking glaze, as they await the kiln. They include two small bowls, a series of tumblers, and a tiny vase with a flared rim

I mean, I have a family doctor but I am definitely not attached to them. Having one doesn’t mean you have a good one, though it is much better than many people have.

Oh wait. It’s in two weeks. I am confused. I need a nap.

Hired a designer for a consultation on our new house because I am tired of living in cobbled together spaces, but afraid I can’t afford anything intentional. So hopefully we will at least get some good ideas.

And now all the acquaintances who I rarely speak to since quitting other social media apps are coming out of the woodwork, wanting to know if we are moving.
