Hi Edouard, Hi Wayne! Hi all...

"Kay-Mart"


Probably where she met her husband...or found him...or, vice
versa...

Being as there are untold millions of utterly useless,
insipid, ineffectual, fatuous people in this world...is it
such a shame if one has nothing to 'sell' them?

We should want their attention and interests? As themselves?
Or as something we imagine we may educate them unto?

However did they get that way in the first place do you
suppose...?

All bye themselves?

Maybe their attentions and deferences have already been
'influenced'...

Someone once said..."...it is hard to get between the
Hypnotist and their Subject"


Think not?

Try it!

We are a mite 'late'...

That which catches the eye can draw the heart. If they see a catchy phrase,
they might actually stop.
I overheard at a craft show recently a woman talking to her
partner/husband/guest whatever. He wanted to stop and look at some pots,
she wanted to go look at something else (silly cow!) The pots _were_ kind
of ...ordinary (sniff, nose up :>)

Her comment was: "If I want a bowl, I can always go to Kmart and get one
cheaper."

THAT'S what we're fighting. Not non-recognition, but ignorance. Martha is
WELCOME to her.

Phil, Phil, Phil... I don't know what to say. We should not scorn
people for their lack of knowledge. I believe that people are
continually learning, if all they have access to is the information they
receive from clear channel inspired lessons, then how can we be critical
of them for their view points? People who are not in the big corporate
mainstream beliefs of what is important must work harder to get their
message past, over, under, around the kmart, wallmart, costco, media
moguls of the world. How can we criticize people's views and also be
unwilling to work toward further educating them?

Linda, still in muggy mass.

Wayne,

WELCOME to her.


You nailed that one!

To be effective this "campaign" is not really about clay itself. It is
about the general core aesthetic education of the US populace. This is n=
o
small task and will not come cheap or fast. It will take SWEEPING change=

of viewpoint before many, many ...... actually the majority of US people
will not simply respond as you so accurately describe above.


best,

Dear Friends,
Senior moments Day at K-Mart, first Weds in the month.
Olive needed a few things and we finished in the Garden section. Shelves =
of cast vases for cut flowers. Latest fashion, two new glazes. Reduced =
Copper Red and Clear Craquelle. I know its Copper red because where the =
glaze has been applied in a slipshod way and is thin the glaze has =
turned pale green.
Hop, skip and jump.
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis.
