Clay, etc

[Guest guest]

Pink, I do try to use a mask most

of the time...the dust can be annoying...it does  not

make me cough however. The vapor/dust  mask ( it's really a huge two

sided thing that's looks industrial)

is really very hot and makes me very uncomfortable when I'm working on

the wet clay.

 But I really use the vapor mask when I use the glazes and oxide washes

 because they can be very strong smelling!

I also use gloves for the glazing process.

In regard to the liquid  O2...my small local provider comes weekly and

fills the tanks from his truck.

I have two reservoirs and he fills both each week.  One would not be

enough

for my 3-4 lpm continuous flow and then he's have to deliver twice a

week.

So, I get  to have two tanks and only one fill-up day and I always have

enough to fill both Helioses

if I need them daily.

I am looking for another provider because this guy doesn't have the

Marathon and I think it's

a better idea for me.   I haven't called Lincare yet.

,

Sorry that your unable to continue with batiks. What about water colors?

I was watching this guy on ColorSplash the other day on DishNetwork. He

was creating watercolor artwork with squirts and splashes of paint and

then spraying it with water here and there. It was beautiful and of

course it seemed so easy ( I bet it isn't).

Of course you may find some other outlet that has nothing to do with

painting.  Change can be a very good thing. 

I use to help my husband in the wood shop. He's a carpenter of sorts.

My doctor said no more of that. No dust, no chemicals. So it's weird

how much I miss going out to the wood shop. I tried wearing a mask but

I just can't seem to breathe.  Now I work in the flower and vegetable

gardens getting them ready for winter. Up until Christmas I'll be

pretty busy. But I dread January.

I think I'll finish a quilt I started for my daughter. 

Keep posting, trust me, it helps just to put it all down in writing.

has finally allowed me to keep my liquid system. With the other health

difficulties, the gas system was just too much for me to handle. I see

my local pulmodude on the 16th. Then, on the 19th, I see Dr. LaCamera

at Beth Israel-Deaconess Hosp. in Boston. He is the co-director of the

ILD Center. Needless to say, I am very excited about that.
