  1. Finally got to use my diamond bit hole cutter to perforate a little kiln shelf for my demo kiln. I got the bit at NCECA and it works great!

      last trip was to 50th HS reunion, family reunion, last sorting of my deceased mother's things including 5 huge boxes of photos , mostly from her family from W.Va. taken from the mid-1800s to 1930s. Included some tin types.I hope to use the images in some art or image transfers. They are beautiful photos.

      Did you get a cold in the plane? In any case, get well soon. Drink hot water with honey and lemon juice in it. Gurgle with saltwater! Hugs!

  9. Finished printing on tiles for an installation piece for my upcoming show.

  10. Finished taxes. Two days in the studio before Ileave for NCECA.

  11. finished two raku kilns yesterday but not the flashing idea. These are oil drum kilns with 1/3 cut off. Also added a burner holder. One is a replacement for my smaller raku kiln and the other is for a friend. the flashing ended up around the grapefruit trees for protection against rates. It seems to be working.

      Monterrey, MX is 200 miles from my house in Brownsville Tx. I think it is more likely the chemicals from factories in Matamoros.

      I think what JT said is right: you have a highly acid environment. Sulfur/ salt, and God knows what else. Time to move.

  18. fired my raku finally but glazes not acting right. Wonder if too much humidity could be the reason?
