Firings; kiln cooling after yesterdays bisque. Ready to unload at 3:30; 110 degrees with open lid.
A rare Sunday where I am home and not selling ceramics in the Railyard or further afield. A good day to have stayed home, really cold and windy, I doubt many art-buyers would have been out and about. I made the right choice in not going and setting up this morning in below-freezing weather. Yeah me!
What a treat to be in the studio while Dave is at rehearsal and entire house is quiet and empty. After breakfast at Harry's Roadhouse with my sister, I came home and worked on Dave's new website for awhile.
Of course this was just a stalling tactic as the bisque kiln was ready to be unloaded and glazing was due to commence, but I could not face it, yet. I will start tomorrow and finished up this kiln load with the ever-helpful Pepe when he shows up on Tuesday. He has no clue what he is in for, poor guy!
Meanwhile, I am typing fast as the Oscars are about to start and I want to see it from the beginning, I know, but I can't help it. I have been watching the stars arrive on the red carpet all my life and it was always a very exciting night at our house. Here is a picture of my father and uncle at the 33rd Annual Academy Awards in 1961 the year they were ushers at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium....
Bob Hope was the Oscar host that year and The Apartment won best picture. My entire childhood I looked at a 6' tall print of this picture in the stairwell of our home. They both worked in the city where the Oscars were held for 30 years so I think had multiple opportunities to escort the hollywood elite to their chairs. I definitely remember photos of Dad with Lee Marvin. Jesus, it brings back memories and how deeply seeing this photo makes me miss both of them.... such characters!
Uh Oh! It's exactly 5:03! gotta go, the stars are strolling the red carpet as I write.....!!
