I just have to say this,
my worst salt and pepper
set is a ceramic bowling ball and
bowling pin. My favorite, even
though it is a cast set,
is Snoopy, well two little
Snoopy's. I don't use them,=20
they sit in my Snoopy shrine.

And this is off the zorie thread
somewhat, but one of the
class handbuilding projects
at the college recently was shoes.
Each student had to handbuild
a shoe that most represented
their personality. There were
some mighty interesting shoes
created that week.

At the Renwick a couple of years ago, I bought a catalog for a show called,
"Cinderella's Revenge".
Great brain candy.
The show was held in Italy, (Where else?) and various artists were invited
to contribute.
Cristo contributed a pair of paper-wrapped pumps.
There's a high heel that is red and white striped; on the back are blue
wings with stars.
It has an eagle-head shaped toe and a taloned foot for the heel: "Hiliary"
A flounder with a flip-flop toe strap called "Sole".
A platform shoe made solely from cigarettes, "One Foot in the Grave".
A Murano glass sneaker.
And my personal favorite, a high heel made of parts of a green wine bottle.
Although thoughts of anyone drinking champagne from a slipper makes my mind
go BLEH!

I checked the archives and there does not seem to be anything on making salt
and pepper shakers. There was reference to an old article which I don't
have any access to in Clay Times.
Anyone with any suggestions or comments.
I have some small corks that will work.

Randy,
When I throw S&P shakers that are meant to have corks, I throw a small
closed form first. When it's leather hard, I draw on the bottom around
the top of the cork, then before I start cutting, I poke a hole to allow
air to escape, then pat the bottom to cave it in slightly, so the shaker
rests on clay instead of on the cork. HTH
You can also make S&P shakers w/out corks, in one single piece w/ double
opening. Hmm. I got a new digicam with one of those video thingys for
Christmas; maybe I should make a little video....

Randy,
I have a little tool made for making the holes for the salt and pepper. Smaller
reamer on one end to do the pepper, larger at the other end to do the salt.
Used to be in all the catalogs, haven't looked recently.
