Greetings and salutations.
I am doing a project for a class called WISE. It is going to be long, interesting, and scary, and involve earth, salt, and fire. I am going to make clay vessels in interesting shapes which I have not yet decided upon, and fire them with various salts and other goodies which will turn them pretty colors, in a pit which I am going to dig, once the glaciers covering upstate New York decide to retreat.
I do not expect anyone to read this blog besides my teacher and my mentor and my community evaluators once the project is finished in June. I don't have any problem with that. I'm not so sure where I stand on blogs as a concept, but it was a choice between this and writing a journal, and this is easier on a whole lot of levels. So hello, readers, and welcome, self, to the blogosphere.
I am going to write about the project that I am doing, and not about anything else, if I can help it. I like pictures a lot better than words, and so I am going to try to put at least one picture in every post. However, since I haven't started my project yet and have nothing to report, here's a picture which, in direct contradiction to the above no-extraneous-information caveat, doesn't have anything to do with my project. But it's my happy place, and I love it, and I like the way it looks on the page.
