I only check the list occasionally, and so far all I've done is ask
questions. I don't feel like I have much information to give, as what
I do is fairly limited.

But - I did discover a little something that if you don't find useful,
you might find humorous. I recently got a waterpik for my teeth, and
have discovered that it's great for cleaning clay from under your
fingernails! If you don't have one this might sound disgusting - but
in fact the way it cleans is by shooting out a small, strong spray of
water, so the pick itself doesn't touch your fingernails.

Anyway, my 2 cents.

Hi Carol,
That is a very nifty idea. I have also heard that they work well as a clay carving tool. --Kim H.

Waterpics are great and they are frequently cheap at thrift stores and
garage sales.Get any picks with them as they change brands and the picks are
not interchangeable.
