Turns out I didn't have a 24 hour virus, I was bitten by a black widow spider! I didn't even notice on my leg that there was a bite. And I don't remember getting bitten, but I've seen plenty of them in the garage and that's where I do my ceramics. I must have scared one of the little guys and he decided to have me for lunch.
My leg has a huge red patch on it and it is very warm and itchy. My friends tell me I'm fortunate because their relatives blew up like balloons and had horrible open wounds. I just have a very ugly leg. I'm supposed to keep it elevated and put ice packs on it, which does make if feel a lot better.
Firing another batch in the kiln tonight. Kind of excited because I'm trying a new idea out. I took a picture of a kid (goat) and etched it into leather hard clay. So I have this relief picture in a square piece of clay. I fired it to bisque and it came out great. Then I painted it with glaze and I refired it. I'm not sure how it will turn out. You don't have the same freedom with glaze as you do with acrylics and oil paints. They don't blend well. But we'll see.
