Pottery Garden Totem (Part 1)!

- Making a multiple wheel-thrown art installation in the form of a garden Totem. I demonstrate how to throw multiple pieces off the hump, combine two pieces for a taller base, and will eventually decorate, fire, glaze, fire again and then install the Totem in my flowerbed in this many part series.
This video I'd about throwing all the pieces I'll need to hopefully reach a height of 5 feet 6 inches.
I hope you join me on what promises to be a fun, cool, challenging project that is also my birthday present to myself.
Music composed by Melody Reid.
My grandson was born yesterday as well. What a joy!!!
Congratulations!
Best grandma out there! Thanks for pausing your work to help me this week with all the craziness 😘
I wouldn't wish to do anything else! Love you and your little family so much. You guys are the light in my life!
Oh my you have a hectic life. Wishing you and your family the best!
whow...thats a lot going on at the same time....goodluck with hubby and congrats with your new grandson😊...hope you get a lot of studiotime
So sorry to here how things are going with your hubby, I would be overwhelmed as well. A very difficult situation to handle, and being so close to the patient makes it even harder. The Totem, well I’m just going to have to have a go, it will probably, when I get around to it be multiple pebbles, or tumbling figures we will see. Thank goodness for our studios somewhere to chill and recoup. Take care, you are doing marvellously. Oh congratulations on your new grandson. Think about all the lovely cuddles that are coming. See you on the next episode. X
Thank you! Glad you're giving the totem a go. I'm loving this project.
What an exciting project. Waiting for the next video.
Happy birthday and congratulations on the new grand baby
It looks so cute. Love the mushroom.
Once you have done the IV a couple more times it will get easier. But that is stressful situation I'm sorry you and your husband are dealing with that. Congratulations on your new grandbaby. Cute dogs I love the picture with them all together it does look like they are up to something.
Hi. WOW! You're going through some stuff atm. First though, congratulations on your new grand baby. He looks beautiful. Hope your hubby continues to get better. Iv's can be hard to manage. I've been wanting to do a totem for so long. I love them. Mine will probably be hand built. Maybe a bit of both. Love your dogs ... those blue eyes ❤ Take care.
Always wanted to make a totem also - will work on the way to chill one day atta time ❤
Oh honey I’m so sorry to hear your hubby isn’t all better! He is still in my prayers and so is your daughter and baby!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! My gosh!! And Happy Belated birthday!!!
Making a statement without getting too tacky can be a tough one! Hahaha. Can you tell I’m thoroughly enjoying your video! Hahaha.
Thank you. I feel like I'm riding a roller coaster, lol.
I wasn’t able to finished the video before. I’m just amazed at what can be done on the wheel. I love seeing things thrown off the hump. The way you made the little hollow ball with the top was just amazing to see. Also you dont use a splash pan!! I practiced once without one because my wheel didn’t come with one and I HAD TO try it out and it was such a mess! Also… your remote!!! Hahaha. You may want to clean that off and put it in a ziplock! That’s what I had to do! Your grandson is soo precious!! Glad the pup is calming down for you. One day at a time right.
@@micheledickey4066 Yeah, the remote is for music. I blast it, which calms me right down. A zip lock is a great idea!
Congratulations on your new grandson and Happy birthday!! Glad your hubby is getting sorted You shouldn't worry about posting videos. ppl will understand if you focus on your chaotic life atm. I fully understand your stress level i have a disabled/ ill health hubby and a daughter who had an emergency c section at 29 weeks with twins. The gilrs are 4 now and doing well but babysitting 5 grandkids does limit my pottery atm. Dont feel pressured to making videao atm Im sure ppl will still follow you when you've got more time to post. Pottery is such a therapy though. Love your work, you are an inspiration. I want to make a totem but not yet skilled enough to do large items.
Thank you! The videos get me away from all the craziness. I treat like play/job which tells the other people in my life that I have to leave. It's keeping me sane. You have a full plate. I hope you can find time to do pottery. Think of the totem as many pieces. And it doesn't have to be really tall. I've seen some 2 and 3 feet tall.
Congratulations on the new grandbaby!! We're sending love and prayers for quick healing for your hubby and continued strength to you!
My, my you do have a busy life. To say you're never bored is probably an understatement. I'm sorry your husband is ill and congrats on your new addition. He is simply beautiful. Myself and now others are working on salsa bowls and having the time of our lives! So your impact is up in Syracuse NY. We love you. Hang in there and throw when you can, you are amazing!
Thank you! Sooo cool that Syracuse is learning from my little videos. Sooo cool the reach of youtube and this pottery community. I love it!
You are in my prayers, God bless . I am sorry about your hubby and hope he gets well soon and Congratulations on your new Grand Baby. I think if anyone can handle your hectic life it certainly is YOU. You are amazing .
Ahh, thank you!
Wow! When it rains, it pours! That old adage is so apropos to your life right now! But as I'm sure you know, we wouldn't have rainbows without some rain! And it seems that some beautiful ones are already shining through for you! Congrats on your new little cutie pie grandson! And a belated happy birthday to you! You have a lot of strength to power through all the challenges on your plate right now, and still make time for your passion for pottery! Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy your videos and learn a lot from them. Hope to see follow ups to your garden totem soon. My prayers are for your husband to have a speedy recovery. Cheers to you!
Ahh, just what I need to hear! Thank you for taking the time to comment. I'm loving this totem project. I was able to work on it a lot Saturday. So more videos coming on. 😀
Hang in there! This stuff makes life grand ❤. Congrats Grandma!
absolutely LOVIN the FairyHouseTotem! OMGoodness, what a great project to get into!!!! Congrats on the new grandson! Sending good healing vibes out to the Almighty that your Hubby gets better SOON!! OMG you REALLY have your hands full! And with all that going on, you STILL throw clay! May the Almighty Universe send Blessings!
Lol, without clay the other stuff doesn't happen happily. Yes, I'm dying to start the fairyhouse totem, but I knew the wheel thrown one would be faster with a better chance of getting done. So I'll tackle the fairy one once life settles a bit.
Congratulations on your adorable grandbaby! He is a cutie pie.
Oh no! So sorry to hear about hubby! Don't stress about the hime administration of antibiotics. I'm a former Oncology and Infusion RN and we train family to do these types of things in the home! Reach out to your medical team with any questions you aren't sure of! You got this!!+
Good morning, you sure do have a lot going on. Thanks for your husbands update. I will continue to pray for his health and that he gets better quickly. And pray for you and your family. BTW, Congratulations on your new grandson.
I enjoy watching your videos and listening to the conversations. Keep up the positive attitude and glad you enjoy your pottery to help release some stress. Happy Belated Birthday.
Have a great blessed day.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing, you just might motivate me to make a totem too! Congrats on your new grand baby, such a little sweetie.
Blessing to you and hang in there! Sending healing love to hubby and 'Welcome' to your new Grandson! Life can throw some curly ones and we have to hang on tight. YOU GOT THIS! ❤🩹
Thank you sooo much! Pottery really does help me hang in there. Keeps me grounded.
@@hobblecreekpottery Me too! :)
Oh it's so horrible when your so overwhelmed. I can only imagine. I hope your Husband recovers really quickly. New things are always stressful and doing drips etc would be such a steep learning curve! I imagine at the three week mark you will be a old hat at it (Not sure if that's just an Aussie saying, means really competent and relaxed at the chore). Congrats on the new bubba! always a wonderful exciting time. Huskies are just wonderful dogs but as they are so intelligent they understand more than is good for their mental health if things have gone wrong for them in the past. That ones a tough one. A friend of mine swears by crateting, I have no idea but apparently dogs have a mind set where its not cruel. I have never had to use a crate with any of my dogs but like your wonderful youtube on clay there must be at least one excellent one on separation anxiety with dogs.
Can see you physically relaxing as you throw throughout the video. Clay is definitely your happy place. Its such a pleasure to watch. Please let us your viewers know if we can help you out in anyway.
And Happy Birthday for last week. Take some time to celebrate.
🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂
Thank you! Yes, crating calms him right down. Huskies need their dens, and his crate works like that. He's a sweetie, just needs reassurance that his new pack has his back. 😀
Congratulations! I love to watch you work on the wheel. You are so creative
I've had a mushroom base bisque for over a year. You've motivated me to get going on the other components! Thanks Feel for you and your husband! Personally I would be fainting when doing nurse duties right after I made my nurse Ratchet comments to the patient to " buck up and behave" ! 😂 😂
Fainting was an issue! I'm not good with this stuff at all. Yes! Get going on the mushroom. Sooo fun.
Congratulations on your grandson!!!
Hope your husband gets better soon
AND Happy belated birthday 🎉
Well what an eventful week!!! CONGRATULATIONS a new addition to the family and good luck with the dog training. Brilliant idea to make something special for your birthday....can't wait to see the progression of the totem.
And of course I'm sending all my best wishes to you and your husband 🤗🤗❤
Thanks sooo much!
Congratulations on your new grandson! And also Happy Birthday! I'm sure you'll be brilliant at all the medical care in no time, there's just this learning curve to get past. Hope your husband is feeling better really soon.
Thank you! It's getting easier. 😀
Oooo I like it
Congrats on the grandbaby! And the IV thing will get better. The important thing is that he's on the road to health! I love the totem idea. I'm not sure I'll make one, but I've been thinking about some wind chimes. They're a little more portable. 😁
Stay well, get the hubs well, and enjoy that new grandbaby and grand puppy!
That is a cool idea for sure. I need something like that for my studio. Maybe I’ll get my students to collaborate with me. I really like the fairy house one.
A collaboration is a great idea!!!
First, CONGRATULATIONS❣️ Babies are such a blessing. God bless your hubby and his awesome nurse. Little huskie with fears…sending big hugs. Hope things settle down for you and your creative spirit continues to soar. Absolutely love this project…I want to do Sleeping Beauty’s castle for my garden…we’ll see… 34:20
Thank you! A Sleeping Beauty Castle sounds amazing!!!
Oh and Happy Birthday also! Sorry I didn't day that before.
Thank you!
❤
How thick do you recommend for the walls?
Starting Weight of clay for each piece?
Type of clay - groggy?
Ivs are easy.. you will do fine
Lol, we're getting there. The first time was a crap show.
@@hobblecreekpottery i know... I used to start IV's bouncing down the road in the back of the ambulance..( 911 paramedic 18 yrs) but the first time I started IV was scary. Hopefully you only have to change the IV med bag and set thr drip rate.. hang in there, by the time this all finishes, you'll be a pro!!
@Jackie Morrison I can't even imagine bouncing down the road doing an IV. You guys are heroes! My daughter in law RN is a Rockstar. Yes, just changing the IV, flushing the pic line, but still. Freaks me out!
@@hobblecreekpottery you will be a pro very soon!!
❤beautiful baby
Hope your husband get well ❤️🩹
