I think that porcelain one might be a great drop in replacement for a potter, hey we could make our own!!<br /><br />Ha, ha... another sardine bone cruncher!<br /><br />Crystals are magical under magnification, I'm not sure if they are true fractals (someone will know), but they certainly have that look about them. Some crystals that came out of a recent firing are rather like snowflakes. <br /><br />A minion... what a great idea!Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-38549586776695020192013-05-12T02:00:43.752+12:002013-05-12T02:00:43.752+12:00The pots are so beautiful...the crystals look almo...The pots are so beautiful...the crystals look almost fractal. <br /><br />I used to love to crunch sardine bones.

I admit to sharing your willingness, fondness even, to consume such delights, and am somewhat relieved to find that there is at least one other person on this planet that is! I also like the skin on custard!<br /><br />Thanks for the hugs, much appreciated! xxPPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-6432294065419494702013-05-10T04:47:30.045+12:002013-05-10T04:47:30.045+12:00First... lovely, lovely pots!

Having suffered from that particular malady several years back, I am most empathetic. Feel better!<br /><br />I laughed a lot over the sardine bones report. I remember that during my childhood we ate a lot of canned sardines (they must have been cheap), and I'm sure my parents made sure that every last bit of the contents of the can were consumed. Despite having been required at an early age to eat the bones, I am remain quite fond of (fully pressure cooked) fish bones, and willing chomp both canned sardine and salmon bones. Hmmm... I've been wondering what to have for lunch. I do believe I have a can of sardines in the cupboard. :)<br /><br />Hugs, Pat<br /><br />Pat - Arkansashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11623638376731374600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-65189512151426347852013-05-07T22:17:33.935+12:002013-05-07T22:17:33.935+12:00Thank you Rhonda for your lovely comment, I like t...Thank you Rhonda for your lovely comment, I like the "proud and grand".

They glow from the beautiful sunshine. I think these photos, with the beach background, very much express the depth of beauty in your wonderful pots. It is far too difficult to choose a favourite for me. Each one, has its own specialness. So well done....PS. Enjoyed your skeleton tale.

I'm ra...Hi Michèle, thank you for your comment. I'm rather fond of the second to last pot too. It has had one glaze firing and two reduction firings so far, one in the wood fired kiln and one in oil drip reduction in the electric kiln... so it has lived a bit! It has been quite a revelation to me as to how "at home" the pots can look on the beach. I'm thinking about new work that develops that idea a bit more.<br /><br />Hi Tracey,<br />Mmmm, what with your C2 and My L5 we could start a fascinating collection of pre loved potter's spinal components! Just the thing for a future collector to keep in a shoe box under the bed! I think that top loading kilns have a lot to answer for! Wow a deer skeleton would be beautiful! <br /><br />Hello Angie,<br />I try to avoid the Doc as much as I can, my income doesn't stretch far enough. Quite a lot of good information about back problems online fortunately, although one has to tread carefully with some of the medical advice! I'm much improved on what I was, and have got the sense of humour back too, which is a relief!!

I now just get all the pains from knee up to lower back, seperately so all of your pain I can feel with you. I have never been given exercises ....not that I go to the doc much.<br />Have to agree with Laura about crunching bones...hate it.<br />Now to your pots ...what amasing colours and crystals you have created. Hope you are 100% soon. xxAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12177505346903016669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-47564670433232971172013-05-07T01:23:55.725+12:002013-05-07T01:23:55.725+12:00I like your location shooting, very pretty.
Ahhh, ...I like your location shooting, very pretty.<br />Ahhh, the back, sometimes I think that we were not meant to walk upright at all. I have had my share of back pains forever, not fun! Right now my C2 is to the right of where it should be and causing a great deal of hand numbness. Oh to be 16 again, haha.<br />I am a bone collector and find them beautiful to have around. A deer died in our woods a few years ago and I was able to salvage almost the entire skeleton, it was great.Tracey Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560971496423789576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-56623125119950278972013-05-07T01:11:06.591+12:002013-05-07T01:11:06.591+12:00Glad you back is improving.
