the list/glaze testing

I have been doing a lot of glaze testing lately and if anyone is
interested in the results I am happy to share.
I am working on glazes that will imitate a mosaic pattern for sculptural
purposes. I can post digital images if anyone is interested.
I think Clayart is a wonderful community of clayheads congeeling mass
knowledge. BUT
beware if any aliens are watching!!! they could suck our information for
some perverted use!
I AM EXCITED TO BE GOING TO LINDA BLOSSOM'S SINK DEMO. And I am excited
at the chance to just talk to Linda Blossom ( and also a chance to talk
to Dannon, the mystical celt of clayart)
Best wishes,
Marcia in Montana
our coop will open on my birthday next week, hope the weather cooperates

Well, OK. But I'm not a Celt. Cherokee, my heritage is, and
Northern European. If it were Cherokee and Celt, I'd have had
a solid chance of dark hair.

see y'all soon. - Dannon
