To bad you didn't ask this about 2 weeks ago (or did you). A big dog
bit me on my right hand and the blood was flowing. While my hand was
in his mouth, all I could think of was Dang, I won't be able to throw
- rather than how can I use all this blood. But, next time I get
klutzy or pet a dog whose in a bad mood, I'll keep you in mind.
I'm throwing again, but have a real sore spot on my right index
finger where the stitches were. Throwing with a latex glove takes a
bit getting use to.
And of course, I was firing the kiln, so had to deal with that before
going to get stitches - priorities.

I have asked this before, with no result. Here's hoping....
As it is deer hunting season, even those who do not eat liver, nor slaughter
the pigs, etc might have access to some animal blood.
No no no. Nothing grim. It is just that I read a long time ago that the
Chinese used blood the way we use gum in our glazes. And I have been
curious ever since if a celadon could be obtained by adding blood instead of
iron oxide to a glaze. If in fact the addition of blood-as-gum might not
explain some celadons plain and simple.
I HAVE gotten a drop of blood on a glaze test, fired it, and found it left a
brown spot. But I do not fire reduction.
Is there some one out there, who would mix up a bit of a celadon glaze, and
add a little blood to it instead of iron oxide?
Anyone out there who is a klutzy shaver who fires reduction? Some nice
person who eats liver & bacon? Chopped liver? Some hunter?
Please?
