Did you get that comment I made about the guy who does kind of a wrapped saggar in his pit and barrel firings, it looks promising.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-2410319924829062932009-04-11T21:09:00.000-04:002009-04-11T21:09:00.000-04:00Sounds great about the next barrel firing, Linda. ...Sounds great about the next barrel firing, Linda. I'll reread about your barrel firing soon as we're having another one in a few weeks. And, I'd like to buy one of your pendants from it if one's available. The colors were so rich. I'll email you about the one I like to see if that's a possibility.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113529511743405120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-82592637309078712092009-04-11T16:40:00.000-04:002009-04-11T16:40:00.000-04:00Lemons to Lemonade all the way through!

I will think of you this summer pouring lemonade from your pitcher while you sit in your shady wisteria arbor.<BR/>Thanks for the link to 100 ways to use Meyers.

Some people can grow them as far south as us if they have a reasonably frost free spot in their garden (we haven't!). I like Meyers and have been known to eat them raw without sugar if nice and ripe.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on the well deserved blog award. You are making life better for many people through your writing and photos, and your comments on other people's blogs. <BR/><BR/>I've never had much success with repairing drying cracks, so am watching your progress with the pillow box with interest. I have heard of people using paper clay for attaching to clay at all stages of drying, and wondered if it would have worked for you with that open seam.<BR/><BR/>The handle idea for the pitcher (with curves like the seam in your cups) sounds great.<BR/><BR/>Best Wishes,<BR/><BR/>P.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-70516823088529750342009-04-11T15:03:00.000-04:002009-04-11T15:03:00.000-04:00Hi Lori, thanks for choosing me and my clay blog f...Hi Lori, thanks for choosing me and my clay blog for the award. I am truly honored and am working on the details right now.<BR/><BR/>Hi Amy, we have just about everything here; what can I say I was a plant-a-holic, now I am a clay-a-holic. Thanks about the cups and the platter feet. I wanted to do a barrel firing today, but I want to soak some rafia in salt and wrap it around some pieces like I saw the guy do that I sent the info on. I am soaking the rafia and burlap today and when it dries I can wrap it around the pieces and fire them. I have to do it quickly as pretty soon our burn days will be over. We got a lot of rain this week so I have a small reprieve before the burn bans of the summer.<BR/><BR/>Hi Gary, thanks about the pitcher and cups, I am slowly trying to improve all my techniques.<BR/><BR/>Hi Jim, I have put slip in the pillow box three times, now so far it has held. Thanks for the info on the vinegar. I heard about using vinegar before but have never tried it; if it cracks again I'll try your technique. Won't know if it is truly successful till after the bisque firing though. We shall see.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-58847780519237651262009-04-11T09:54:00.000-04:002009-04-11T09:54:00.000-04:00fixing those cracks can be extremely frustrating.....fixing those cracks can be extremely frustrating... although i've not had 100% success, sometimes if you make a little paste out of a greenware shard and some white vinegar, it ends up shrinking less.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-49369344210691214992009-04-11T06:35:00.000-04:002009-04-11T06:35:00.000-04:00I love your pitcher and cups, and I have those boo...I love your pitcher and cups, and I have those books too!Gary's third pottery bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113249576164428106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-88379130787851081392009-04-10T22:34:00.000-04:002009-04-10T22:34:00.000-04:00What a great post!

I also laughed as I continued to read your post, amazed at your creativity and also at the continued theme. And, I really like those feet and the cups in the second pic and that seam on them. When's your next barrel firing? Happy Easter to you, too!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113529511743405120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-78391640584065267942009-04-10T19:30:00.000-04:002009-04-10T19:30:00.000-04:00You've been selected for a Kreativ Blogger Award. ...You've been selected for a Kreativ Blogger Award.
