I read it top to bottom.<BR/>I especially liked the part about knowing someone by their attention to detail. I just returned from a Nepali family dinner and that notion of attention to detail made the evening special.<BR/><BR/>On another note contrary to this subject, I lost the sight you gave me to get a stamped quick signature on my pots. Can you send it to me?<BR/>DianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961789.post-1092324389615570002004-08-12T10:26:00.000-05:002004-08-12T10:26:00.000-05:00hey for the soda kids who throw mugs...just a thought, but stamp out some wadding someway so it leaves a design instead of wad marks... <br /><br />On this particular idea, I don't throw, but doesn't the foot on these little guys require a mold? I think it would be hard to stamp this out unless you did a negative stamp while it was still wet and then trimmed when it was leather hard. It would be hard to get really even so the mug doesn't wobble...<br /><br />nice site emily, thanks for inviting us to playginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05313815130599386038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961789.post-1090812171761668432004-07-25T22:22:00.000-05:002004-07-25T22:22:00.000-05:00Congrats Emily,<br /><br />Here's a few quick (obvious?) ideas for your blog:<br /><br />1. Surface treatments described w/ colored pictures. (Why isn't this common on the web?!)<br /><br />2. Which surfaces/forms "tend" to work best together?<br /><br />3. Tool Review/Book Review/Annotated Book List.<br /><br />4. Throwing/Firing techniques.<br /><br />5. Pot of the week/month/year and what makes it work. For that matter it would be interesting to see the opposite: functionally sound pots that don't work aesthetically.<br /><br />6. History of soda?<br /><br />7. Guest Bloggers/Overseas ceramics reporting? <br /><br />8. Functional pottery in everyday context. In other words how do individual pieces fit into a larger interior design.<br /><br />9. Pottery as a business <br /><br />10. Current pottery news (local, national, world?)Swirl E.
