I've got it down to a science and I can actually replicate most of my results, but only after a nervous breakdown, thousands of dollars of therapy, and a lot of wonderful pottery that could have been something special, if only...<br /><br />Your post made me laugh today - loved it. <br /><br />I came up with (what I think is) a very clever way to stilt my raku hummingbird feeders. If you are interested, I'll send you a photo of how I stilt and load them. It might work for your pears.<br /><br />And I also love your blog banner!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077677066902349111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-91078841810477789622010-09-17T07:13:44.831-07:002010-09-17T07:13:44.831-07:00amazing, i hate it when i just make a piece and a ...amazing, i hate it when i just make a piece and a while later someone wants a bunch of them and i can't for the life of me duplicate either the form or the firing. the pear prices are rising. i love that little house, it's beautifulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-83644523666437869572010-09-17T01:01:01.417-07:002010-09-17T01:01:01.417-07:00The new pears look very realistic and I like them ...The new pears look very realistic and I like them and I am a sucker for turquoise, beautiful, some pieces are ok with pinholes and that's one. Not quite sure what you were trying to do with the glue? what about a stilt with nichrome wire. So raku is like reduction, "you don't always get what you want, but you might get what you need" - courtesy of the Stones - rolling that is.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-9728277776024650262010-09-16T18:48:08.514-07:002010-09-16T18:48:08.514-07:00Whenever I try to duplicate a past awesome piece, ...Whenever I try to duplicate a past awesome piece, it always turns out way different.
