Twinsies!

A couple of months back, I had a customer buy a kitty salt shaker in a light brown Siamese pattern, because it reminded her of her mother's cat.

Weekend before last, she stopped in at Holiday Market to share these pictures with me:

Wallace meets his match.

The reward for a job well done

Is another job!

Just a few weeks ago, I replaced all the elements in my Skutt 1227 PK electric kiln. Last week, Club Mud needed the elements on their 1227 replaced. Guess who got volunteered? Well, I did volunteer myself. Also, Jon offered to help, and Lobsang, who probably uses the kiln more than anyone else, joined us to learn how it's done. In all, it took us about three hours, would have gone even faster if I'd gotten out Club Mud's Dremel tool earlier. (Got a much burlier motor than mine, cut off those element tails way faster.)

Final fire

Some pics from my final firing of 2025. A very good firing; should keep me stock until... oh god, I don't even know. At the rate things are selling, I still might not make it to Christmas Eve.
