Single firing Done!

Thanks Susie, looking forward to the links. The second cat is my 'evil'
Reed. I named him Reed after the college my first born was going away to.
Reed is 'my' cat (by that I mean I'm his human) and he really doesn't share
well. He is the stereotypical 'cat' and probably the only one that I have
ever known.

I'll have to post a picture of Koosh in her bowl for you. The bowl is by a
potter in Connecticut and it is driving me nuts that I can't remember his
name. I thought it was Mishna but I'm unable to find anything on him.

I really have seen nothing like your work here in the U.S. of A. It does
remind me of one of my favorite childhood treasures - a swan swimming in
flowers that was brought back to me from either England or Japan...
Probably England. The new set of pictures is delightful! Dare I ask your
price range and if you have ever shipped overseas? We actually keep
teasing
ourselves with flying over to England some day. Could you tell me where
the
shop is that has your pieces?

I was surprised to find the closetpotter back on line. Here is some of
her
things.

Hi Donna

Thanks for giving me the line to the closet potter. I really do like some
of her work. I'll go back and have another look later. Who's cat No Two
in your pictures? Shamu and ?!

Can you post a picture of your swan swimming in flowers - it sounds just
lovely. Maybe not the sort of thing that I'd start making, but
interesting. Thanks for all your kind comments about my work.

I have sent work over to the US. No, not one of the really big pieces,
but something the size of the tea party made it in one piece. I often
post the tiny things like the star struck mouse within the UK with no
problem. As for shipping the big pieces, that's something I haven't had
to work out, yet. Prices vary according to degree of difficulty and size.
I made a breakfast scene similar to the tea part for that last exhibition.
It was called "Sunshine Breakfast" and had mice sitting round a toadstool,
with daffodils for their cereal bowls and a box of Kelloggs Cornflakes in
the middle of the "table". That sold for UKP60 to a local buyer. The
little miniatures go from UKP10 upwards, plus shipping costs. From there
on the prices go up.

By the way, the Isle of Arran where we live is just off the coast of West
Scotland. I'm English - we moved up here from West Cornwall nearly 5
years ago. I'll send you some Arran links in a private reply so you can
what our island looks like.

Talk soon

Susie.
