it is such a joy to have nils with us....he is a very kind, wonderful
friend. his take on the blue is very simple. he feels i added too much
iron. `iron kills cobalt in his experience. just a pinch will do.`
of course, he likes the blue....says i am full of shxx/. he is more than
likely correct. he is an expert at shxx.
mel/ waiting for terrific art friends to arrive. god, my birthday...what
a rush. 66 nils and i are both mentally 45. that is a gift.

Only Mel would have the gall to mention blue
with such enthusiasm and in the subject line
too... He is supposed to be a "real" potter for
goodness sakes...

The decimal point slipped there, Mel... You
surely mean 4.5 (four-point-five). Now THAT IS a
real gift! Retaining the enthusiasm, wonder,
vitality and learning powers of a four
going-on-five year old. You do a pretty good
job, so keep it up! Non of this turgid
forty-something nonsense please!
Have a happy birthday. And a happy, healthy,
productive and entirely blue New Year!

Mel,
Sixty-six ain't so bad; I had a pretty good year; looking forward to 67 in
Feb 2001. Give Nils my best.

Hmmmm. The blue didn't show so well,
but the intestine was PERFECT. Abuse?
No, no, no, Mel. We only try to help you
stay modest, self-effacing, quiet, humble. No
abuse intended.

P.S. I did think, however, that the intestine
brushwork was not quite up to your ususal standard.

The glaze-on-glaze brushwork has a nice peristalsic rhythm.

I seem to be missing something here---when I go to Mel's website and click
on "clayart", all I get is three photos of the St. Augustine thing. No
pots, no blue plate special (with or without intestines). What's up?
Dai in Armstrong, BC, feeling decidedly left out!

Dai, I wonder if you just need to empty your browser's disk Cache?

Call me dense, but I don't understand the trouble with blue. Natural
Indigo is my favorite color.
My teacher gave me a cobalt blue salt glazed tea bowl as a graduation
present (I finished my 3 year apprenticeship the end of February.) You can see
a photo of the teabowl here:

Also just started building my "Euan Craig FastFire Woodkiln." You can
see the first 4 levels of bricks at the above page too. As I build it, I will
put up more photos.
