Today I\u2019m supposed to be working around the house getting it all clean for our trip which I\u2019m doing. <\/span>I have my sheets in the dryer, laundry is all finished and my ironing is almost all complete. <\/span>I need to dust, run the vacuum, clean my bathroom and I\u2019ll have my chores finished.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I got a little side tracked when I watched my favorite show on HGTV this afternoon. <\/span>I love, LOVE, LOVE<\/st1:placename> Crafters<\/st1:placename> Coast<\/st1:placetype><\/st1:place> To Coast and tape it every day. <\/span>Today they featured a potter using something I had never heard of \u2013 gloves. <\/span>Who would have thought of something so genius while throwing on the wheel? <\/span>I love it when someone else thinks outside the box and I just happened to pick up on it. <\/span>He never said a word about it but I was completely taken-a-back by how genius it looked.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I immediately dropped everything I was doing and put my work on hold for a min while I went to my studio and had my very own experiment with gloves. <\/span>WOW! <\/span>I not only loved using the gloves while I was throwing but I also liked the cleanup afterwards. <\/span>It always takes quite a little while for me to clean up as I have wet clay everywhere, all up the sides of my arms and the worst is getting all that clay out from underneath my fingernails. <\/span>I have an old toothbrush that I use on my nails to make them good as new. <\/span>Today however was a breeze. <\/span>I finished throwing my bowl, folded in the sides to make an interesting form on the outside, took off my gloves and Ta Da, my hands are CLEAN!<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

I’ll cover the bowl in plastic to keep it moist so that I can finish it when we return. <\/span>I plan to add 3 long coiled feet to the bowl once its leather hard and who knows what other details will follow. <\/span>I won\u2019t be able to smooth the sides \u2018til after we return but here is an idea of what I made and what my hands would have looked like when I was finished.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
