I was bagged more than once, and sadly on more than one occasion my poor kids would announce to me that the tooth fairy never came. How sad is that?Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09547166972371240909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687034524260441896.post-16140186531280657562008-08-16T13:45:00.000-04:002008-08-16T13:45:00.000-04:00What a great idea!

My daughter has lost all her baby teeth now, but in the past when she did lose a tooth, we stuck it in a tooth fairy pillow that my grandmother made for me when I was a kid. <BR/><BR/>A pot would have been awesome though to set on a night stand instead of digging under her pillow for the tooth pillow hoping she wouldn't wake up. When she used to lose a tooth at school, the nurse would give her a little plastic treasure chest to take it home in - same idea but not nearly as pretty as your jars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687034524260441896.post-42467468483655218952008-08-16T11:41:00.000-04:002008-08-16T11:41:00.000-04:00yeah, i just use a large plastic mixing bowl and t...yeah, i just use a large plastic mixing bowl and transfer the slop to the racks. its not too bad.brandon phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09410108166763940251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687034524260441896.post-91526766632376676552008-08-16T10:10:00.000-04:002008-08-16T10:10:00.000-04:00Micheal-A denture cup.

I have seen pots with hinges made of pottery or wood, it could be interesting to make a cup for dentures or whatever with a cover like that.<BR/><BR/>Brandon-Thanks for the additional info. I imagine other than using a sump pump, that the way to get the slip out is to scoop or with help lift the bucket and pour? I guess there's no way getting around it being really physical work. I guess I'll get really strong!<BR/><BR/>Hi Judy-I know there is more than one way to do a flange lid, and I think I chose the easiest for these. I threw the covers as flat discs, and when they were leather hard, then trimmed the flange into them and neatened everything up. With a deep flange, as I would need for a teapot say, I think I would be better off throwing it to shape.<BR/><BR/>My surprise was a bust.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09547166972371240909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687034524260441896.post-42655399287657253362008-08-16T07:33:00.000-04:002008-08-16T07:33:00.000-04:00The covered jars look great.

Yeah for pushing through the challenge.<BR/>The little jars with the slip/sgraffito look cool too. I'm looking forward to seeing the blue from your tests. And how intriguing -- a surprise?<BR/>My bisque is loaded so I'll mix up some test glazes for trying early next week.Judy Shrevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817638135856406785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687034524260441896.post-4667781690087550272008-08-16T01:15:00.000-04:002008-08-16T01:15:00.000-04:00i saw your conversation with ron about mixing clay...i saw your conversation with ron about mixing clay and i thought i would throw in my 2 cents. i use pretty much the same method except i use a 55gal trash barrel(brute) and i use a heavy duty drill with a sheetrock mixer in it. easier than the hoe method but not as hands off as rons "hi-tech" blunger & sump pump. it mixes 200 dry pounds in about 15-20 minutes. much easier than a clay mixer and much better clay. any way will work as long as you're mixing and getting the particles wet.brandon phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09410108166763940251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687034524260441896.post-4903949198710690642008-08-15T22:01:00.000-04:002008-08-15T22:01:00.000-04:00Love the little tooth pots.

Maybe if they're successful you could try making pots for old folks' dentures. heheheklineolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10577525633756972853noreply@blogger.com
