Last night I did the orange dye on the shirts, they do get brighter as they dry.
The clouds were quite pretty yesterday evening.
I caught the bus to town this morning, had coins to pay in and they have a swanky new machine there now that doesn't reject most of the coins. Drizzly most of the day today so I had a damp walk to the studio. Didn't offer to do the pots today, got on with the snail for Sandy.
Should be quite colourful when glazed and fired. Sandy had an appointment so I watched the shop and got on with my final bowl.
Only one other Potty Pensioner arrived so I made sure he had what he needed and made him a cup of tea. Sandy has booked me onto a pottery camp with her in October, she and Donna have been twice before and come away with some nice unusual items.
I walked home today, the ankle was pretty sore so very slowly, speeded up to get out of the road as a car turned in and felt a sharp pain in the back of my ankle. Carried on and even cut through to the sea, a different scene today as it was still grey and drizzly.
At the end of the road I saw this very young seagull sat in a garden, I do hope it could fly.
I have used the brown dye this evening, didn't leave it on for nearly as long as recommended and that would seem to have been a wise decision.
They will dry brighter and I think they will be pretty good. My ankle is worrying sore, but hopefully I have just over stretched something and all will be well. Holby later, probably have tissues ready, just in case!
I have to say I really like the t shirts, particularly before the brown dye. They are just so vivid and colourful. Don't get me wrong, I like the next version too, just prefer the first. All good fun for the festival.
ReplyDeleteI'll be really interested how the snail turns out as I can't visualise it fired at all. What are you going to do now you've run out of bowls? Pottery camp sounds interesting, and something different too which is always a good thing.
The young seagull is very cute :-)
Hope the ankle has settled down a bit now, and is feeling better tomorrow. Take it easy.
The later ones should look a bit brighter when they are dry, but the colour is more fox like which was the plan. Will post another picture when they are dry.
ReplyDeleteI think the pottery camp is on the south coast somewhere so a two night stay away.
Fingers crossed the ankle will settle again.
