Description Rakuuuuuuuu!

You know, I just read a book where the author decided to call her dragons "Raku." It took me a while to get that strait, and it annoyed me most of the way through the book. Decient story too, but for the love of all that is holy, PLEASE choose your names more carefully.

erhem. Right, the ceramic piece. The holes are a function of the glaze, when its thick and on a concave surface it pulls away and leaves yellow spots. (Its so cool) I got a bit more reduction than I wanted, but overall a nice mix of coppers and blues. Hmmmmnnnn... Blue.

THanks. If you want to, I'd suggest taking a raku class. Slab work isn't hard (roll slab, cut circle, drape on round form. Viola! Bowl!) and raku is just soooo much fun! The fire! The smoke! the steam! The glowing pots. ^_^ So much drama and such great pay off!

At first glance I thought you had taken a picture of one of my abaloney shells! This is sooo much prettier (is that a word? prettiest, prettyful, ) than any of my shells!!

^_^ So you remind me of a dream I had, involving mob bosses, and trying to discover which dish made from abaloney was the best. In the end I dreampt that a dish made of aboloney pounded flat and served with lettuce between two slices of bread was best.

in other words: aboloney sandwich.

Yes, my brain is a dork's even when I'm asleep. ^_^

When I was very young my family went abaloneying (say that 3 times fast ) at a beach north of SF. I remember the adults going into the ocean with these skin tight rubber suits (I had never seen one, it was funny seeing my Uncle in it ) and a big knife. Looked like fun to me! heheheeee

That does sound like fun. Do you go abaloneying any more?

Haven't been back since 1998. ;( But it was soooo much fun. Us kids wore out our shoes, our Mom's buried them in the sand. We'd spend the whole day there, building a fire and cooking hotdogs for the kids, then we drove all the way home to do the abaloney. I'm a CA beach girl transplanted to Phoenix.

One day I will, course I will probably be completely covered up. I burn waaaay too easily, lately, i drive somewhere and boom my left arm is burned a bit... HA HA I think I will take my cue and stay home/covered. darn this silly pink skin! ROTFSWL

Yike! That is bad. My mom freckes instead of tanning, and I'm glad to say I only partially inherited that trait. I still tan, usually only after a little burn though...

You know, you could go to the beach in a wet suit. Or a burka. I hear those are great for avoiding sunburn.

I still go when I get the chance, always with a long sleeved shirt and big old floppy hat! Besides they say when CA drops off into the ocean I'll have beach front property! ROTFSWL

But dragons are kind of like Raku.... *cough* anyway! Goregeous colours, it really does look just like a shell.

Most people I've see tend to obsess about the copper in Raku. Then again, that might just be the people I've fired with. -_- If you want I'll give you the recipie. I love this glaze myself...
