Thanks again Arti!

Take a look at the digital fire site - there may be some a picture
there - I have a page there with pictures of my work.

There is a picture in the new Hopper book - a rewrite of Rhodes Clay
and Glazes.

It was a compliment.....I have my Big Three.....Pinnel's copper =
red, light green celadon, and tenmoku.....I'm sure you know about it =
already, but I like putting that tenmoku in the salt fire where it goes =
from regular to a transparent amber celadon look with every step along =
the way depending on where the salt gets to it.
About 2 or three times a year I try something else.....might even =
mix something new....might do some tests.....might try overlapping =
etc.....might use whatever I like on a few pieces......Then when I "Put =
your head down and glaze"(my friend Audrey) you will find me back at the =
buckets with the Big Three.....I guess if a glaze has worked for a =
couple thousand years it might still have something going for it in the =
year 2001....Ya think?
Good luck with your new glaze....If it can take YOU away from =
tenmoku I know I would like a peek....I don't guess you could grab a =
free website somewhere and show us all a little, could you?
