LOL just put my head down and keep going, don't count until the last glaze test comes out.

I don't care because I don't need to care, but if I were selling something, I'd get on Facebook too.<br />There really isn't an equivalent... yet.<br /><br />For me, volunteering at the thrift store really pops my social bubble--all types work and shop there, from Trumpers to Anarchists.<br /><br />I recently overheard an argument in the breakroom about a trans woman, for instance--one staff member declaring loudly, "God made her a man!" (interesting he still said "her" though...);<br />the other staff member declaring she wasn't harming anyone, so who cares?<br /><br />Congrats to you on raising your last cygnet (= baby swan, I had to look that up) to a full grown swan! She looks bright and beautiful!<br />I hope you have a great trip out to Colorado, and Mulder and Scully don't raid your place while you're gone...<br /><br /><br /><br />Frescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323129046492056942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5510641744889581085.post-11989709791769191292018-04-30T21:02:57.095-04:002018-04-30T21:02:57.095-04:00Hi Linda!

I ended up testing and tweaking 46 white glazes before I found the one I liked! It really likes Tucker white smooth stoneware! The glaze is a calcium matt so the first time it comes out of the kiln it's shiny and very enamel looking, yuck! Apply decals and retire to cone 2. Cone allows the calcium matrix to develop nicely. Took my just about 2 years ......... pottery! LOL!
