Lovely, superb work, Robert. Perfect for me to see
at this very moment of this very evening. It's only
been a few hours since I agreed to do some raku
firing with one of my first pottery mentors. I know that she's
hoping for something inspirational that will help
move her own work over the need-for-production
slump that hits now&then. Your horsehair/
feather pots alone would impact any potter enough
to inspire a surge of Gotta Try THAT!..... and likely
would (and will) lead to weeks, months (years?) of
Trial&Error.=20

Can't wait to see where this one takes
us......... images of many other vaguely related
processes ping and bounce around in my noggin
involving fumibles, terra sigs, my old oil can firings,
saggars ...... nothing concrete yet..... may never
be...... at least not at this time...... but whether
Elusion or Illusion will work their magic yet again
...... one more time...... is exciting to contemplate.

Thanks for sharing.

In the Mojave desert of California where phone calls
and e-mails are arriving announcing that we're
Supposed To have rain tomorrow. Yeah, right.

Thanks for the sentiment, Joyce!
I get a lot of inspiration from ClayArt and other peoples work. One of
my favorite
things is when someone gets on the listserv and says, "I got a new web
site" or
"here's the latest photos of..." I find this invaluable.

Post a link to the pictures of your wares, (if you have a way to do so)
- everyone likes to 'ogle'!
