LAZY DAYS

It has been a rather prolonged cycle with Christmas and New Years slowing things down quite a bit, these have been the lazy days of the new year. I ran a bisque a week ago with the intention of glazing the pots up which didn't happen other than a few odds and end, I am running the second bisque right now and will start glazing tomorrow, finish on Wednesday and fire on Thursday without any unforeseen interruptions. In fact, I just finished making up glazes to top off the five I use this morning but I could have had at least a third of the pots glazed already instead of having to glaze everything in a two day marathon. I had thought I had learned a valuable lesson for the last cycle but apparently procrastination is a hard habit to break. I have the glazing all planned out so the temptation to go off script isn't there so despite a lot of dipping, dunking, brushing and decorating the next couple of days are all planned out and any procrastinating hopefully is temporarily behind me.
