  1. ired my raku finally but one of the glaze not acting right. Wonder if too much humidity could be the reason faulty pyrometer or a mistake in mixing? My pyrometers went crazy last time i was firing.

      I use commercial raku glazes. The copper glaze gives me the greatest variation in color; from iridescent green to all copper to

      some copper with iridescent other colors which vary according to

      way the light strikes my slab pieces when hung on the wall. I'm not sure why there's such variation.

      I like my mixed glazes as well but something went wrong. Last time it was this humid and hot, my pyrometers looked like geiger counters jumping around. I have been mixing my own raku glazes for decades.

      I've never fired in that cold, nor do I want to. I'd go with too hot though. You don't have to dress in layers.

      I can't find the pictures. I get lost in here.

  11. reposted our pics from Tuscany V. The group is sharing pictures like crazy on a Facebook page. They definitely bonded. They just are not CAD forum members.

      Your new avatar looks great! Looks like you are having a wonderful time.

      Perhaps we can ask Google, Yahoo, Bing, Alexis and the other search engines that constantly scan the forums to restore the dropped posts.

  14. posted some pics from Tuscany V in the forum.

      Marcia, the pictures don't load, either in the preview, or if I click on them.

      Weird. Your direct link worked, but if I try and go through your profile, into your gallery, they still don't load.

      Great work as usual, by the way.

  15. today I pack for Tuscany. I will try to post pictures on the potters council Facebook page.

      if in doubt we're all a little odd then watch the "Adele" post from Evelyne and try not to smile

  18. Trying to get everything finished and some things possibly shipped before June 10 when I leave for Tuscany V. Since we've had no one post on the thread besides myself and Holly, I am convinced there are no members of this forum coming along.

      I was just saying to the husband today that I'd give my eyeteeth to spend a week at your side and learning nifty things from you Marcia. LOVE your work!!!

  25. had a great fast efficient trip to Houston. Husband got a visa to Brazil at the Consulate, I dropped off about 20 pieces at my gallery including some large raku slabs and picked up a new thermal couple, a rounded pair of raku tongs for obvara, and some porcelain. left Monday and were back on Tues. by 7. About 750 miles round trip. Took the dogs with us.
