Ann Brink on sat 20 aug 05


I just came in from loading the kiln, and thank goodness even though I am an
Aries, the Virgo god was influencing me....I was juggling (nonono, not
literally)more pots than usual and had to be really careful about placing
them in the kiln. I do this bit with auxillary shelves between main shelves
for platters, etc and placing the posts can be challenging.

Tired but smiling,
Ann Brink in Lompoc

Have been firing with a Kiln Goddess for 35+ years.
She has accompanied me from studio to studio, state to state.
Figure every bit of good energy helps.
