Hi Terry,
Interesting raku. A nice contrast with the spontaneous raku effects and the control of the glazing.
Looking at the magic squares and geometric patterns I wondered if you were also familiar with
Penrose tilings? A google search will give you lots of info about them. His kite and dart pattern is
particularly rich with possibilities, and I used it myself on some carved porcelain works. Mid-way
down on my porcelain page is an example on a cylindrical jar:

You asked for a critique of your page. One thing to consider is reducing the file size of the
images. They could be one tenth the size (i.e. 20 kb instead of 200 kb each) and you wouldn't
notice a difference in appearance. It took about 10 minutes for my slow country dial-up
connection to download the page.

I looked at the pots and read all the magic square info and am amazed.
You've taken a road less traveled, combining pottery with your fascination
with mathematics. I didn't (very likely couldn't) follow all the way with
it, but I've always liked the magic square idea too. Saw one in a museum in
China and took a picture of it. Old idea.

Terry,
Pot # 13 is "exquisite" However, each time I scroll down, or up for that
matter, the pots are somehow displayed in sections before becoming one. In
other words, each pot, as it is downloaded is somewhat disjointed. Hope
that makes sense and hopefully you can fix it. Sorry I can't help you
there:)
Sincerely,
Ingeborg
