So nice to see you on again! So sorry for the loss of your mother, so difficult I know. Hope that your son gets better soon. I love your videos, so nice, like you're here with a chat and visit. Love your pottery style, especially the black outlines!❤
Hi Lisa. It's lovely to see your pottery videos again. I've been offline for 2 weeks, so I was excited to be able to watch one of my favourite potters. Love the mugs, and definitely, the black outline makes them pop.
Lovely to see you Lisa, great video - black outline rocks, even though the flowers look lovely with your great use of colour - the outline is essential imho. I'm sorry you are having such a crappy year. Please tell Chris I look forward to a repeat Grinch performance at Christmas! I hope things are getting better for what remains of the year. Hugs, Jan❤
I’m 2 months behind and trying to catch up with your videos so that I can be up-to-date. I appreciate you, and I appreciate all the information you give us. I’m glazing plates today with the Amoco snow and wow, I’m so glad you told me about oolytes! I haven’t used this glaze in a while, and I’m guessing it forms more 0OLYTES, as time goes on. But I think I got them all. Thanks to you! I still have more glazing to do tonight so I will be moving onto your next video. I’m praying for your hands and that you’ll be able to continue with your Pottery.
@suzannea8180 Thank you SO much!! 😊 Good luck glazing your plates. My goal is to make more plates and platters in 2025 with dipping cups. Buyers seem to always love anything for parties. 😀
Hello Lisa, love the green underglaze inside the mugs 😍 I won’t buy Amaco underglazes as they are ridiculously over priced, so I looked into another brand and found Speedball which seem nice
@melrussell7830 Yes, Speedball are much less expensive. I'm spoiled with the Amaco Underglazes to use ar home, but I now buy Speedball underglazes for the rec center where I teach.
Hello Lisa... So glad you came back again to show us your wonderful technique!! Your colors are so vibrant and fun . Also, love getting updates on your pets. I think a lot of potters have pets they share their lives with and it's always fun to see what they are up to. Can't wait to see what will be next.
Dear Lisa. So happy to see you again on video. You mugs are so beautiful...! Like these with black lines more. Wish you and your familly especially Chris all the best and take care. Lovely greetings from Switzerland❤
Love all your videos I sent someone here the other day for your handbuilt pumpkins how does time go by so fast it seems like I just started watching your channel but its over 4 yrs ago now and you are up to 5 k, Hopefully Christphor will get better soon, Thanks for sharing
@corryg6403 I can't believe I've been making these videos that long!! 😳 I saw the 5000, and thought, wow!!! Very humbling. Thanks for watching and supporting my little channel. 😀 ❤️
Lisa, I am so happy to see you! I’ve missed you and know you are going thru a tough time! I love listening to your lovely voice and always learn so many new tips! Gretchen About Charlie, it’s kind of magical whenever one experiences a terrible loss, some wonderful angel or guardian shows up to comfort you.
@LaurieGagnon-hj9yq Thank you! ❤️ Yes, it's so difficult to lose a loved one. Life is never the same. So sorry to hear about your mom. We must cherish the memories.
Sorry for your loss of your mom and the health of your son, hopefully you can find help. Love your flower mugs! Amazon Underglazes so watery feels like your paying for water😠
@@loreliemiller628 Thank you! ❤️ I so agree. 😞 I have to buy about five more pints next week, and I'm hoping Amaco has fixed their glazes, but I doubt it. I'll have to leave the lids off for a week or so. :-(
Hi Lisa! Good to see and hear from you again! I am sorry to hear that life is hard for you😢 you seems like a sweet woman and you deserve better! I hope all goes well with your son❤ I always love watching your videos while I work in my studio. Today I did some handles and some carving. Nice to have you with me. Take care Love Ellen❤
@@Ellen.s.atelier Awww, thanks, Ellen! That is so sweet. Thanks for watching. ❤️ 😀 I love to watch videos also when I'm in the studio. It makes it feel less lonely. :-)
@@WildAcornsArtStudio yess I know what you mean! I am almost done with my next video, so you can watch that later. First I have to empty my phone. It storage space is way to full☺️😋
Maybe you could arrange for Charlie to go to work with you? If he had his own comfy matt under your desk, bet he wouldn't be a bother to anyone all day. He could be designated your "support animal"! 😊
@@WildAcornsArtStudio Awww... Boo! Their loss: they would've adored having him there, also! Maybe next best thing--if he's got serious separation anxiety--would be one of those two-way pet monitors so you can see & interact with him during the day. P.S. Haven't watched your entire video yet, although I have forwarded it around (Saturday chores!), but plan to continue it later today. Loved all your past kiln reveals, fish bowls, plate painting vids, etc., and really need to catch up with the rest. Thanks sooo much for graciously sharing and teaching! Appreciate you. 🤗
Hi Lisa. Your dog and cats are the cutest. I am here to see your art and also your pets! Could you explain to me why you use a 15 min hold? What is the hold for anyway? Also, I am sorry about your loses this year, and best of luck in your shows!
@MammaRoub Thank you! I use a 15 hold in the glaze firing, because it holds the top temperature of the kiln for 15 minutes, which allows the glaze extra time to heal over any pit marks (craters or holes) in the glaze caused from organic matter outgassing up through the glaze. The glazes can run during this 15 minute hold, so I'm usually pretty conservative when applying it. No more than three layers for me. 😀
@@WildAcornsArtStudio ah, great, that makes sense. Thank you for your quick response! Did you upload the picture of these after the glaze fire? I don't seem to find them. Thanks again. I want to tell you that your videos are so great, you always keep me good company. Thank you for that.
Hi Lisa. I’m a certified hand therapist and have done both but hand and upper extremity therapy for > 20 years. I have many things that may help your hands that I would be happy to share. If you are interested, let me know. I would be happy to help I’m relatively new to pottery and don’t have a kiln yet. My community kiln fires to 6. Will this glaze and technique work at that temp? Thanks
@@user-nh4dz1bo7v Yes, everything I make and the glazes ai use are perfect for a Cone 6 firing. Any advice for the hands is welcome. I'm probably going to try the gel shots in January and see if that helps. Right now, there's too many other issues going on. Thanks so much. ❤️
Lisa , do you wear hand braces at night ( carpal tunnel braces)? They keep your hands and wrists aligned so the inflammation goes down. I used to work in a library(lots of heavy books) the braces saved me.
I used to many years ago when my hands started hurting, but they didn't seem to help that much. Maybe now that they're worse, I should try them again. My thumbs are the worse. I try to keep them under my pillow, to keep my fingers stretched out straight. 🤔 I'll check out Amazon, they have everything. 😀
@susyward581 Hi Susy. I'll have to re-watch it to see what you're referring to. Underglazes are a glaze, though, thus the name. 😀 Thanks for watching. ❤️
Lisa~ do you have any suggestions how to transport bisqueware with painted underglaze that hasn’t been glazed fired yet without smearing it? Will it get damaged easily transporting in a car going to the studio for firing? do you have any suggestions on how to pack it? Thank you so much in advance! ❤
@MyMazyCat Funny you should ask this, because I have been trying different ways to transfer them myself lately, since I don't fire at home much anymore. Th3 best way I have come up with, is to wrap each piece in one of those plastic grocery bags you get from the store. The slippery-ness of the plastic will not rub off the underglaze. Then I stuff some rags or paper towels in between the pieces. I pack lightly, but not enough so that the pieces will move around too much. This has worked well for me. 😀
@@WildAcornsArtStudio thank you so much Lisa!! I really appreciate your answer! I brought home bisque fired plates for my granddaughters to underglaze paint. We watched your doodle videos for inspiration and my granddaughters thought your doodle artwork was awesome! 🏺❤️
@MyMazyCat Awww thanks! Hope they had fun with it! 😀 ❤️ I'm trying to come up with an idea for my preschool class that I'm teaching in October. Maybe, I'll introduce them to doodling. 😉 😀
@@WildAcornsArtStudio I think that would be a terrific idea! My 10 year old as well as 14 year old granddaughters both loved your doodle art a lot! It appears to be very appealing across a wide age range. Thanks so much again for answering back!
So nice to see you on again! So sorry for the loss of your mother, so difficult I know. Hope that your son gets better soon.

@carolynpollack1083 Thanks Carolyn! I do love to use the black liner. 😀 I've noticed ec3n in my paintings, I am starting to outline stuff. 😀😃🙂🙃
I came to see your doggy! I love dogs and I paint custom pet portrait mugs! Dogs are the bomb! Love your mugs, thanks for sharing.
@@FunkyPhish Awww, thank you!! 😊 ❤️

Hey Lisa! I’ve missed you… so happy to have you back with a new video! Love the mugs.

Charlie is so cute!
