isn't really handmade. I love those phony credit cards you get in the =
mail. They make wonderful ribs to clean off pots before you remove them =
from the wheel. The best one I have was from Discover, it is clear blue =
and bends anyway you want and bounces back. =20

So if anyone is afraid of loosing fingers by creating their own tools, =
here's something you can do with all the junk mail that comes in. I =
know my idea isn't original, but sometimes it's better to reuse than =
throw away, or not spend $6 shipping on a $3 tool.

I'm not bitter.

Dear Cristy;

I love the letters that come with those 'free' credit
cards............they tell me that I am pre-approved, and I take it as
a message from the universe, then use the card in my studio. And when I
write my check to the IRS, I write on the bottom that it is all to go
to the Smithsonian, especially the freer & Sackler Galleries. Makes it
sooooo much easier to send that check off in the mail. Self-deception?
Sure........and I have NO trouble getting up in the morning.

Cheers from Hank-on-the-road
