ROFL - as much as that reaponse might make you feel better - I agree with
the others, send the polite one. You're better than that person. -- Kandice Seeber Air & Earth Designs http://www.lampwork.net Well, I must have arrived! I've gotten my first rude "question from a member" on Ebay! I feel so honored, LOL! Actually it wasn't a question so much as a brief comment. And I quote: "Raku is a clay process not glass!!!!!!!!" (Please note the severe overuse of the exclamation point) That's it. Well, hm. I'm perfectly aware of that, you D.A., thanks for nothing! :P Here's my response - which I haven't sent off yet, as I'm trying to bite my tongue, virtually speaking... "Well, for your information, I am fully aware that raku is also a clay process, since I ALSO make clay beads. The name of the GLASS frit that I used on that set of beads is called "Raku Jitterbug" and most lampwork bead buyers are familiar with this fact. So the name of my bead set happens to be completely accurate. At last search, 59 other beadmakers also used Raku in the names for their beads. Did they all get the same scathing comment or am I the lucky one today?? In addition, if I want to name my beads Raku, Terra Cotta, Crackle, Stoneware, Earthenware, Porcelain, or Solid Gold Wrapped In a Hundred Dollar Bill I am perfectly free to do so. Please find a better way to use your time." Grumble grumble grump! Someone tell me not to send that, or I'm gonna... Deux Candace |

I took pottery classes back in the dawn of time, and made a Raku tea cup. It had a sort of metallic finish to it, almost like AB, but much subtler. Now, I see lampwork that has a similar subtle nacreous lustre to it, and think "Gee, that looks like raku." Is the glass used produced in a reduction atmosphere? That would do it. Also, back in the dawn of time, I was employed at a company which did glass coating for military and aerospace applications. One of my tasks was to dye clear pyrex tubes a ruby red. This was done by first firing the gold-based slurry onto the tubes, washing the slurry off and firing the tubes again in a reduction atmosphere. Sometimes a batch would go bad and come out with a rather pretty rainbow lustre on them. Voila! Glass Raku!

can I add a "neener neener" to the end? Pleeeeze?? Oh, I haven't
hit send, but I really wanted to... I know I need to rein in my sarcasm, but it was fun to write! Not unless you want to see your reply on every beading forum in the Internet. I agree with Sooz. Restraint has it's own rewards. Cheri (Bubbee to Emily and Nathan) |

so, now that I have taken the high road, I am assuming that most of us
agree that it was pretty rude of her? I mean, geez! Is she an activist for the advancement of pottery glazing or something? Is this a new group I don't know about? Perhaps we should alert Val, she may be her next target! ROFL! Oh, I was peeved, but now I just think its funny. Anyone else have strange or crazy comments from Ebay to share? |

I'm thinking she's one of those people who LOVES to catch what she *thinks* is a mistake, because then she can be superior and *correct* it. Bah.

Oh, yes. Definitely. I don't blame you for being annoyed, Candace.

She has "Smissues"

You never know where someone so rude as to post that message might also post your reply. Better to take the high road here. And, nothing on the Interent ever goes away completely. Unless you want your grandchildren or your boss to see it, don't hit that "send" key. I think that whoever sent that post must have had a bad day. As we say here in south Georgia, the person who sent that post needs some sugar!!! As we say in southern Massachusetts, the person who sent that post needs to get laid. Kathy N-V |
