    The parrots seem to like you. You are so lucky to have them visit. I have a hawk that likes to chase one of my cats. Really wonderful is the osprey that has been stopping by. I live on the bank of the Sacramento River in Reding, California. The osprey nest is across the River but they like to eat their fish in my next door neighbors tree. I am so fortunate to see them up close. Your use of mason stain to colorize pearl white is quite brilliant. I was thinking the glaze might be kimchi before you explained. I really liked your pendants. I made some earrings with Cone 5/6 glazes and they also melted so that the bottoms have glaze drips. Speedball dragonstone glazed earrings look really good with the drips, mottled blue with burgundy drips. Love all your carving and slip work and that planter. Thanks for sharing and entertaining, Liana

    Love the chess pieces! I need to get back to my chess set project. I got distracted making dishes. The castle is called a rook, the horse is a knight and the pointy one is the bishop. Then the queen, king and pawns. So from outside to inside, on the chess board, you have the rook, the knight, the bishop, the queen and the king. Typically they get taller as you work toward the center. Beautiful birds! I've had lilac crowned Amazon, quaker parakeet, cockatiels and conures in the past. My daughter had a cockatoo. I also had a crow for a time, and he was the smartest of them all!
