I wanted to add that bamboo karen is quite a brush maker herself. I have
two beautiful large brushes made by her that I used for the first time when
glazing for the last firing. WOW is all I can say. I was truly amazed at
the trail the brush created and the kinds of lines I could lay down. Thanks
Karen. Now I will really need to figure out how to use your fine brushes.
If you have some smaller ones, I would be interested in those--contact me
off list when you get a chance.

Thank you.
