[Woodcarver] Whatyadoing?

[Marcia Berkall]

Joe, that pastel portrait class sounds awesome...wish I could join 
you for that!!!

I'm in between carving projects, working on some small ornaments when 
I get a few minutes.  My main focus for last week and this week is 
completing a pottery order for 36 mini wall pocket vases for one of 
the schooners in the Maine historic schooner fleet.  I'm using 
underglazes to "paint" Maine scenes....pine trees, rocks and sailboat 
for one design, and lighthouses, rocks and sailboats for the 
other.  I just got the first batch out of the kiln this morning after 
the bisque firing, and I guess they'll do.  With pottery glazes, I'm 
never really sure of the outcome.  If anyone is interested, I've 
uploaded pictures in my "pottery" album at 
http://www.picturetrail.com/cahvah   Next I'll be adding the blue for 
water and white for wave lines and clouds.

One of my student has loaned me a baby dress that was hers..her mom 
kept it all these years.  I'm taking lots of photos of it and my hope 
is to do a carving of it for one of my next projects.  I hope to get 
started on it very soon, but haven't yet decided what wood I want to 
use yet.  I guess I'll know it when I see it.

Good luck in Texas, Joe!!!  Sounds like a good time...profitable, too, I hope!!
