drilling holes in raku

So the question would be how to retain some decorative functionality in a
disabled pot.

It has a lot to do with the intent of the shape of a 'functional' pot as
well. Some things just look like they're made for food or drink. Others are
either more mysterious or obviously inappropriate. It would seem wrong to
drill a hole in the bottom of a mug or bowl.

Not that one needs to say "put daisies in here," but a negative approbation
alone isn't all that helpful or welcome. The flowers are just directionally
suggestive.

I hadn't thought of a baggie for some of those odd-shaped things. Very neat,
Sounds good!
