Dear Des,
Sounds good to me, let me know if you have some. And just as a point of
curiosity, which I know no one wants to know: in the late 19th century, or so,
there was an artist pigment called "old mummy", which was made from ground up
mummies. Probably not very light stable, if I remember correctly. I have no doubt
that some Victorian must have used it in a clay body as well...would probably make a
good horror story today...hmmmm.... think I'll go over to e-bay and punch it in and
see what comes up...

Hi,
We just need to seek solutions and facts prior to sounding the alarms. Ea=
ch
person has their own level of education and ideas as to what they conciev=
e
things to be. I believe each person has the equal right to make themselve=
s
heard but yet we need that vital research from the field in order to vali=
date
the background on things when they are put forth in a manner where alarms=
are
really appropiate. Fears have caused people anxiety and sickness probably=
more
so than should? What we don't know and what we do know is stuck somewhere=
in
between.
On my end I can appreciate those who open up topics that create thought f=
orms
such as the tombs of Egypt and all but I have to look at the present find=
ings
regarding the circumstance being discussed. I am an avid reader of Egypti=
on
history and I am only thankful I have a friend who has studied these kind=
s of
things. I also know that Bill is not a toxicologist so I limit my questio=
ns
mostly to his digs and the pottery they find. Its all good in the end! Th=
anks
for helping me re-affirm my need to limit what I ask. It never dawned on =
me
that I would be opening Pandora's box when I wondered which food would be=
best
for growing mold spores.

I've got it! I've got it!
Ask the clay suppliers IF, not HOW MUCH, mummy dust is added to the clay bodies.
This will tell you if the nasty Aspergillus Niger fungus has developed.
Then invoke the god of healing etc by drawing the Eye of Horus (Rx) on the bags.
Glad I could help.
