I have added (not me personally ::) a glossary to the blog for anyone interested in terms - I find it useful for myself as well as to try to supply proper definitions of stuff - alot of thanks, of course, goes to Wikipedia. And Tom. You can see it automatically linking words (like unfired) to the entires throughout the site.
I'm ready to get back to doing some work after sick me, sick baby, broken toe and other stuff. I'm trying to find local craft shows to get into (anywhere in Toronto) that don't require large booth fees, tents or proof of sales in other large craft shows. Toronto Craft Alert is a great site but I still can't seem to find anything of a smaller nature. When I speak about "large" shows I mean the One of a Kind show, Cabbagetown show, the Distillery etc. For all of these kinds of shows I need to have a tent, as well as table and display stuff, not to mention a hefty (for me right now) booth rental fee. Prior to investing in a tent and devising some kind of professional display I need to get some smaller shows under my belt. If anyone hears of any please pass them along.
Someone made a comment to me recently questioning whether porcelain, or ceramics, was too delicate to wear as jewellry. I find that ceramics in jewellry (or on clothing) is quite hard-wearing. You wouldn't want to take a porcelain pendant and throw it on a tile floor - but you wouldn't do that with your coffee cup either (depending on the day you're having.)
