<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Time has passed and I certainly haven't stopped moving. To those in the Facebook world, you all know I mainly post and update from there. Am I a defector? Am I being a blog hater?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Far from it. I've been busy and frankly enjoy fb'ing a lot more than blogging as I'm iPhone connected. In saying that, I'm still a hypocrite as I love reading blogs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To cut the long story short my guilt has bought me back here as well as the task of blurting some news! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let's do this by a list shall we:</span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. I finally got a Pimpin Purple!! </span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the last four years I've been chasing a Pimpin Purple. What is a Pimpin Purple?</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's an example of one I found while Googling! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqXj6spEa7vfgdEITeDzFNawg9E5-j-HLCaFK4FzynUeEJfn9drV9I8I2FbDuTNTbG6eqgaM9_mA4jkry3sxJeAWuEGaRmbsS4mpn4axl4TQ1fH2bzUi7kscaKTNWnocTiCSVmWs2Jvps/s1600/pimpin+purple.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqXj6spEa7vfgdEITeDzFNawg9E5-j-HLCaFK4FzynUeEJfn9drV9I8I2FbDuTNTbG6eqgaM9_mA4jkry3sxJeAWuEGaRmbsS4mpn4axl4TQ1fH2bzUi7kscaKTNWnocTiCSVmWs2Jvps/s1600/pimpin+purple.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After four years and 39. Yes, <strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">39</span></strong> attempts I've finally been able to create a Pimpin Purple.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjui_aRicAaTrjMWaaVNQrL8ySxVARMxNtEITpAdvVE90F1LbtU2kTCsqL0ItmHNZFfLkFnSgFeatnvf7poJu0gnwoe2A-tQspMnCJ4fuv_Y5cvLqaHa9ASMTfyIIgZlVUToYy0lxwmRBg/s1600/39+PURPLES.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjui_aRicAaTrjMWaaVNQrL8ySxVARMxNtEITpAdvVE90F1LbtU2kTCsqL0ItmHNZFfLkFnSgFeatnvf7poJu0gnwoe2A-tQspMnCJ4fuv_Y5cvLqaHa9ASMTfyIIgZlVUToYy0lxwmRBg/s320/39+PURPLES.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It's been a ridiculous and mildly obsessive. Purple (I've been told) is one of the hardest colour to master as the two main stain ingredient Red and Blue fire at different temperatures. What does that mean? May the court please see the above pic! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">How long does one colour take to make you might be wondering. It all depends, it can take 10-30 mins. Depending on the ingredients needed as well as the sieving and multiple straining to evenly distribute the stain amongst the glaze. I'm sure your wondering why I would continue to keep on testing these colours and not settle with some of the purples I had been kind of able to create. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Simple. I don't settle. Maybe this is the mule in me but I've never settled for anything in my life and frankly, I wasn't going to let the hunt for an allusive shade of purple beat me (see what I mean about mildly obsessive).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Along the way I've been happy to find other colours that I will be working with at a later day. I can see a Cranberry that looks quite delicious and a gorgeous Lilac.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, without further ado, I present to you my Pimpin Purple! </span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the next coming weeks I'll be blogging a bit more on what to I'll be releasing as part of my Winter Pretties 2012 range. Get excited it will be F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh and I'll be part of the June Perth Upmarket! Hope to see y'all there!</span><br />

Let me count the ways.<br /><br />1. Southern Ice - my material of choice is a super elastic porcelain clay body that is surceptive to warping and cracking on the slightest whim.<br /><br />2. I'm used to working in a hand-building style.<br /><br />3. It was winter - anyone worth their ceramic salt will know it's a nightmare waiting for pieces to dry in winter.<br /><br />In saying all that I am an optimist and a bit of an under stater. So when my good friend Danica mentioned (repeatedly) that the piece wouldn't dry for a good month I scoffed with the arrogance of a fanboy first in line at an Apple release. That's right, I was a F.O.O.L.<br /><br />Why was I a fool? I had advised the ever patient Tamara that a turn around time of 5-6 weeks wouldn't be expected.<br /><br />Fast forward 5 months, that's right <span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>5 months</strong></span>, I've just delivered the gorgeous vessel.<br /><br />It's something I wish I had made two of because I will <strong><u>never</u></strong> make anything like this ever again...well...maybe.<br /><br /><strong>HAHAHA!! </strong><br /><br />So before you eyeball the pretty piece here are a couple things I want, nay, need to gush over:<br /><br />1. No warpage - holy bananas! The probability of this not occurring is mega!<br /><br />2. Glory be to glazing -perfect, perfect, perfect!!<br /><br />3. From conception to realisation - it turned out as planned.<br /><br />4. Did I mention that I only had one piece? In hindsight I wondered what I would do if the piece failed...yea, that's right, naive arrogance.<br /><br />So to end, here it is.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 235px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669268847485518626" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcadOx0-oOK1rneLx8kGp9Xewlx9n4JLU0ipB4zMdHRNKLlQUM-J8EaDNOT1LsIotnWOZmpf_JHNEsXW6oZjsAMMBQzj_L8hSKY7axW6BuNpoc34UARv8RhRinD_MGtnmQXFt003pAkwM/s320/vase.jpg" /><br /><br />This pic taken on my iPhone doesn't do it justice.<br /><br /><strong>Pretty out!</strong>Patriciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09767534880969549883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5933898610417513943.post-87116769809493288522011-10-22T04:46:00.005+10:302011-10-22T05:05:43.406+10:30Its been a long time comingI've finally had the time to update my website with this years model shot.<br /><br /><strong>AND....<br /><br /></strong>A new 'Work' section.
