Day 31 The Indian in the Cupboard


A tribute to my wife, this is the first piece she made for me from scratch. She brought the greenware cleaned it and fired into what is called the bisque stage then cleaned again then painted and fired again. During the second firing to set the pain they can and quite often explode but the ones that don't look brilliant they have so much life in them.

  10. Hi!

    Sorry to bug you this way, but as I got excommunicated at Worth1000 because of raising "bad questions" (I have yet to understand what that could be and asked the board to tell me, but haven't gotten any response yet) I want to thank you for the nice shoot in January. Wish I could have played in that HxH tournament, but as the admins decided my questions had been too harsh and dangerous for the moral and integrity of the Worth community, it's sadly not going to happen.

    Enjoy your time at w1k and be careful what you ask, and where…
