Update

I've responded to the comments on my most recent post.

In ten days is the Bucktown Arts Fest. The work-creation cycle has ended and the show-preparation cycle is underway. I'm in much better shape than last time, but ambitiously decided to design and build a table. If I had a table saw and a panel cutter (I've been spoiled with excellent facilities) it would have been much more wisely done with a sheet of plywood.

A week after the Fest, I'll be doing a wood+salt firing... so, in the next ten days, I'll also be producing more pieces to put in there.

The day before the Fest is a big deadline at work; the interior package for "my" building at the Great Lakes Naval Base is going out. There's no rest for the weary.

Design-realized.com is up and running! I've put a feed in my blog here, so you can see the new headlines... comments are invited and welcome.

I'm pretty happy with the heavy involvement with ceramics, but it's definitely taking time from responding to blog comments. Please be assured that I read all the comments, and always enjoy them and appreciate the thought that goes into them. Really.
