      The popcorn is a fantastic idea. I hate packing peanuts, because they get everywhere and are tough to dispose of. The popcorn, could just be thrown on the lawn, and the birds would take care of it. I wouldn't eat it, because "Ew Air Pop.."

      That was the original idea. . throw it on the lawn. However, it seems lots of folks see a box of popcorn and party! From what I hear.

  7. Back from the Alaska trip last night-great time, now it is time to get to work.

  8. Load of Chalice and paten glaze out last night, popping popcorn and mailing out 5. kiln also had 20+ mugs and some medium sized bowls. I am trying the spray on route with the hazelnut, it was not perfect, but much better than most loads with it so far.

  9. Main cone pack blew on Monday glaze fire. Refired yesterday off at 130am. cooling now. Hate it when they blow, first one in years.

      Yeah, if not properly dried and firing too quick. My fault, but then it happens.

  10. Back from NC, great conference considering everything. Looks like next year they are going to have 3 Japanese potters from Japan, and a tea master for an authentic tea ceremony. I can't remember the names, but it sounded like they should be pretty reputable. John you may know them if I could remember names. Very tired after the long drive.

      I hope it's going well with your dad, my mother-inlaw is 90 and she can get pretty feisty. Her car has been in the shop and I have been driving her every where. She's a good driver, isn't use to being stuck at home and is getting a little frustrated. Denice

      Your entering my neck of the woods, hope you have a great time.

    Thanks for the hint, I keep using them to soften the comments as I know that at times I can be abrasive when I mean humorous. Guess I never grew a funny bone! I am learning to tread very lightly in the forums-slowly.

  19. Send me an address-can't promise anything, but maybe you'll get a mug by the end of this coming year.

  20. Just on the big island last year. Always wondered about the cost of setting up a studio in the islands. I imagine clay can be expensive.

    Nice pieces, Are you using a Bailey extruder? One of their standard dies does the sea shell/bowl sort of thing. Used it in the 80's for some stuff, but not as nice as yours.
