Dolita,
Do you take special orders for these mugs????
I think I you need to make a set of 3000 and possibly more.
Each must have the likeness of every Clayart member
painted in a Dutch Renaissance style.
This is to be accomplished with underglaze, lusters & gold leaf
using the finest Tasmanian Devil nose hair brushes.
Each name & email address sgraffitoed in a
masterful calligraphic style in Sanskrit of course.
Now we must talk color. They must be mother-in-law blue in honor
of the mayor... we don't want him to get cranky...ier.
You know how he loves that blue!!!
Now the handles.... perhaps each handle could
reflect the clayarter's location.....like we will need Texas style handle
for all our Texas friends...and could you make them look like steer horns?
You get the idea... just call me or send the drawings, plans &
specs for approval via USPS overnight mail.
They need to be saggar fired in a lava flow and slow
cooled to promote crystal growth.
Of course each of these mugs will have to be sent
out for leach testing.
Let's see what else.... oh price... well... because this is a training
exercise,
I think $3,000 should cover my expenses for the time I am taking
to lay out the details of this exercise.
So what do you think.... are you game???

Here's an "incentive", Dolita.
When you are ready to sell them all
let me know. I want to buy a set of 8.
(Yes, I know I can make my own...and
I have...that is definitely NOT the point:>)
Let me know when.

Better put in your orders quick folks...
they're going fast

how in the hell are you going to learn to pull
great handles unless you pull three hundred?
now, get busy.
now.

and who gives a damn about the water.
it gets clay in there.
don't worry about stupid things like the water.
next you will want lee to check on the acidity
of the water.
god, that is all we need.
get to work.
now, you have 400 mugs to make.

then, sell them all.

Gayle Bair,
You leave my favourite Tasmanian Devil alone or I will set my
genetically retro engineered Thylacine onto you!!
