We are all over the place and Mr. Doubt comes for a visit

 I am working on tiles while Mark is finishing making pots for Ms. B.
Oh, yea, what could possibly go wrong?

You would think that we never doubt what we do. The only time I think we don't is when we are making work.

As soon as you stare at that piece of clay that is ready for the glaze old man doubt comes rolling in the door.
He says to me, "do you know what you are doing?"
I always say, "no, but don't tell."

I have gotten to the place where I know the glazes that I like to use on the tiles for the featured images. I get my head stuck on background.
Then I like to argue with myself on the steps that it takes to finish glazing one.

"You should try slips," Mr. Doubt loves to tell me.
"You should try spraying a glaze."
"Yea, I say let's add that to the mix."
"Raku!", he screams at me.

 I yell back at him, "Hey, I like the glazes!"
"And, I have worked this out, you want me to start all over again???"
"Why not?", he laughs.
Why not indeed.

Get out of my space....


What goes through your mind when you are working?

 Mark is staying on the wheel making pots for Ms. B.
We are going to work that little girl out this year.
Stay tune.

(you could get a real job) Quiet!
