Yes, the world is full of good as well as bad people. Some pensioners =3D
who remarry find a wonderful, loving companion, and others find a =3D
cynical, hard-hearted, thieving crook. And some put their faith in =3D
chariots, while other believe in putting their faith in properly =3D
planned savings.
My point was nothing beyond this. That --pace, Steve-- someone who =3D
works and "earns" a pension has a right, IMO, to think her widower =3D
will inherit that pension, no strings attached. This is not so. And I =3D
consider it cruel, and wrong. Of course right now just about everything =
=3D
about pensions is up in the air. So I can hope this harassment of the =3D
remarrying will stop.
Still. As more people live into old age pensions, as well as Social =3D
Security, will need a lot of thinking about.
Now as to blisters in glaze.
I expressed myself inadequately. And thank those who sent me recipes =3D
off list. I do not want to create craters, nor do I want local =3D
reduction--as with Silicon Carbide. I want some recipe for glazes that =3D
blister all on their own. I am not satisfied with the published =3D
opinions on blistering, and want to test a theory. And I am not posting =
=3D
the theory because--so often--people read a theory, take it as fact, =3D
have bad results and claim you made them do it. When I know more I'll =3D
let you all know.

Dear Lili K,
Noticed no offers of glaze recipes other than those that incorporate Silico=
n
Carbides so far. I got that effect with Slate dust from the Mintaro Snooker
Table quarry. so I doubt the recipe would travel well.
Do I correctly recall that Oil Spot and Partridge Feather Tenmoku derive
their patterning from bubbles of Oxygen gas discharged due to decomposition
of Fe2O3 as the temperature reaches 1300 deg C ? Firing to 1250 then
quenching down to 1000 deg C might give you a sample with unperforated
bubbles.

I believe 1230oC is the temperature bruited about for
the thermal reduction of Fe2O3 & release of gas bubbles.
