Ginger is pleased...Hi Linda, good to hear from you. Ginger is pleased with your reply to his comment on your site, and sends his regards. <br /><br />These are my very first tests with the ilmenite so far, so the manganese, cobalt, & ilmenite is still to do. Regarding costs of materials, the only really expensive one there is the cobalt. <br /><br />For bulk storage of materials I use plastic rubbish bins (trash cans??), and the smaller amounts I tend to gather up recycled plastic containers... and even the occasional home made pottery jar! I'm not entirely virtuous in the storage department, in that I have bought some plastic containers... but it would be fun to have made them.<br /><br />The show in Dunedin Florida is still in the selection period at the moment. All interested potters had to submit photos of work first. I don't think I will know anything before the end of this month, or early next month. <br /><br />The pots on this post were all fired in the electric kiln. Some had more than one glaze firing.<br /><br />Thanks Meredith, Hollis, Pat, and Kitty, good to hear from you. <br /><br />Kitty, I think your comment has just about inspired me to develop a range of pots (lidded containers) for people who have a sweet tooth!

Have a good one. I like that first one a lot, I guess because of the space between the crystals better to appreciate each one and the lighter spaces within the crystals and then the speckling of the ilumenite. Were these fired in the wood kiln or only the electric?Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.com
