  6. Big spread in percentages. Watching and waiting.
  7. Sitting out back, five feet from the hummingbird feeder, watching four of them fight over it. Amazing little creatures.

      I had that happen also, we tried everything even ran down to the store and bought a feeder and put sugar water in it. They finally left when it was lighter outside than in the garage.

  12. Pieter: When I have chemically etched materials they separate out into carbons, solids, and metals. I would agree soluble salts are clinging to the sides: but by chance are those carbons floating? I do not know what the LOI of colemanite is off the top of my head, or how high you calcined this material.
  13. From the album: Clay Tests

    Experimental cone six porcelain with colorants, to produce an almond body. The idea was to replicate a stoneware look on a pure porcelain body.

      They ended up putting in an artificial shoulder joint: she had shattered the bone that badly. The real problem is her continuing to live on her own at 85. She has fallen several times in the last few months, and has always given me " reasons" why. As her POA, I have real concerns about her being by herself.

      This is such a difficult place to be. I'm so sorry, Tom. :( She is very fortunate to have a lovely son like you to watch over her. I always tell my son that right now it's my turn to protect and take care of him and one day when I'm older it will be his turn to protect and watch over me.

  16. Finding your voice I see. Well done sir.
  17. After nearly two years of testing and writing formula limits: threw my final stoneware recipe this morning. Finally satisfied with the results.

      You will figure it out. The cream cheese comment busted me up. I can imagine trying to throw cream cheese. It would be awful.

      Always thought porcelain was like throwing butter, but cream cheese works too!

  19. Could not imagine firing for four days. Guess I have become accustomed to my "microwave" style electric kiln. Punch in a few numbers and walk away.
