    Thanks for being here everyone! Van life has just gotten sweeter and sweeter. The more I find passion in various things, the more I realize I can make almost anything work in the van. There have been many questions about how I've been able to merge pottery and van life.
    For right now, I continue to use the studio in town to do the majority of my work, and to fire the pots. I hope to do the entire process off-grid in just a few short months on the property.
    Big projects to come!!

    You seem so bright and happy; I don't think I've ever seen you like this is any of your previous videos. It's so fun and exciting learning new things that you're passionate about; I've been learning about professional dog grooming lately and it's been a blast building a new skill.

    You could make the cracked ones planters!! They need some drainage on the bottom, you could find a funky way to hang them (maybe by the handle from the ceiling, etc..)

    Grab a spray bottle next time you are at the store for water. Perfect to use for the pottery during the process in the desert . you can also spray a few pumps on the pieces throughout the day while keeping them under the plastic.

    My grandmother used to have a manual pottery wheel. It had a large stone underneath (in a large wooden ring) that she would push with her foot to make it go round & round. Must've been exhausting! She made most of the dishes for our cabin, that we still use today. 🙂 Happy Crafternoon~~ xo

    Hi Linnea, I’m sorry to see your beautiful pots crack on you. I have a suggestion you might want to give it a try. I make Hypertufa planters and to prevent the plant pots from cracking after the form has been made, I wrapped them loosely with wet newspapers and put them into a plastic bag and leave them for several days to slow down the drying time and to prevent cracking. Just a thought you could give it a try.! ❤
    Kudos to Chris and the Ghost scene!😂❤

    If you add a bit of either Titanium Oxide or Zinc Oxide powder to your lotion, you have a moisturizing sunblock. Mix one jar day cream with this and apply before going outside. Use other jar without this as your night moisturizer. Off course you can just add it into the batch, and have the sunblock not blocking anything at night, lol. I did this before and added a drop or two green food colour and sold it to family members as a day cream and night cream. They came telling me how different the two felt and how it was getting rid of wrinkles, lol.

    It's so fun to watch you throw. I'm pretty new to it as well. Your designs are great! I just built out the basement livingroom into my pottery studio. I have learned a lot in the process. One thing you really need to be aware of (you may already know) is potters lung aka silicosis. The silica in the clay dust can be really dangerous if you don't have proper air filtration, or at very least good exhaust ventilation. Can't wait to see what you put together on the land!

    The moisturizer looks wonderful. I have psoriasis on my knees, marigold or calendula leaves= soak in olive oil ( or whichever you want ) I leave it 4-6 weeks in a dark place, then I strain the leaves out, heat the oil slowly, add some beeswax, then put an essential oil in - pour it in a small container and THAT clears the knees up faster and better than a $52 prescription from Doc and it leaves the skin soft and glowing. I’ve made same with plantain

I was always so proud of her and her creativity and most of all the joy she had sharing!!!! The Ghost "rendition" was perfect!!!! Dude was feeling it!!! :)
