I am going to switch to a different white clay body. I used Laguna Macabee in Florida and never had a problem with that clay.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-92068248204623273362015-08-22T15:44:58.416-04:002015-08-22T15:44:58.416-04:00I am so sorry about the canisters - and loved hear...I am so sorry about the canisters - and loved hearing you had a great day at the markets - and appear to be attracting a following.

Not in the same places as yours, and a complete mystery because they were the same shape and made at the same time. I hate that!Barbara Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351113054045427775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-39514948579701344022015-08-22T14:15:37.447-04:002015-08-22T14:15:37.447-04:00Hi Turquoisemoon, thanks, I did have a great day a...Hi Turquoisemoon, thanks, I did have a great day at the farmer's market, lots of new collectors of my pottery.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-14406146151240594472015-08-22T07:28:01.281-04:002015-08-22T07:28:01.281-04:00The tiles are too cute!!!
