Sorry about your Pottery problem. I have a collection of pottery with faces, animals, etc on them. Used to go to art shows all the time.

I have to admit I haven’t been keeping up with the UFOs lately Quix. Since I started animating I spend more time on it than on reading.

I was very interested in the recent Texas sightings though.

Take care!

Thanks thanks.

A beautiful animation.

Did you do pottery or just collect it?

[potlatch]

Lol, your pretty StarTrek page!

At least it isn’t the ‘Jetsons’ flying around there.

I went to get a ‘ready to post’ graphic earlier in Angelfire and then I saw all of the urls were down!!

That’s one of devolve’s webpages.

I just collected it Quix, till I ran out of space, lol.
They just had a writeup about the man who made many things I have, the ones with funny faces.

He said his most popular ones now are ones with religious symbols or inscriptions on them!!

I’ve got a lot of “spacey” graphics

I should post more of them

[potlatch]

When you see an opportunity you should.
I thought you would know the song on the Rush thread. Remember your webpage with the man falling out of the tree, lol.

I can’t find your stuff because I don’t know the names.

Lol, that is a fat face in that space suit! Think I stuck too big a head in there.

He would lose his semi smile fast!!

[Quix]

I C.

Interesting.

My spiritual Christian inscriptions . . . usually on the bottoms of the pieces . . . are as popular as the shapes and glazings.

Any links showing your collection types?

Blessings,

[Any links showing your collection types?]

Remind me - as I have been inundated with requests lately - but I will try to scan the pictures in the article I cut out and post them to you tomorrow.

He is putting the inscriptions on the front of them.

LOL!

I could “remote edit” it!

[potlatch]

Lol, no need.
Besides you might make his smile a sneer - heh!!

[Quix]

pLEASE, NO

rush or pressure on my account at all.

Just curious.

Blessings,

I seem to have misplaced the article about the potter Quix, so I'll just post some old pictures of my collection. The ones with BIG faces and teeth are from the man I spoke of.

The others are a variety, a calico cat on a handle, a gecko as the handle, a tiny armadillo on the edge of a brown pot, a honey bear with a pot climbing over the edge of the pot, one blue pot face with a cowboy hat and big teeth.

There is a piggy bank pig in the back with a large cork for his snout and a very small face pot that is a 'bubble blowing container, and even a small one running a Q-tip through his ears, lol!

Some of the ones with faces are hard to discern, they were bought at Renaissance Festivals and are very intricate. The two large ones alone are some I bought in Mexico. A white one at the bottom has a cigarette in his mouth! They are all signed and have the creator's cards inside them.

“They” have come here, but have been scared away by paparazzi.

[Quix]

Incredible and beautiful collection.

Thanks much.

You probably wouldnt anyway—but please . . .

AVOID microwaving in any of them more than 3-4 minutes—and that only on a rotating turntable version.

They are so irregular, that the steam forces built-up within the clay could cause a fracture. I ruined a very intricate Aspen tree relief sort of mug I’d made in Taipei. Thankfully, the master potter was quite happy to have it anyway as an example of some sort.

Very nice collection potlatch!

Ia that “Tiffany” the dancing lamp?

[potlatch]

I thought you might enjoy seeing things that I collect devolve. I have been collecting them for maybe 30 years now and stopped sometime ago for lack of space.

My daughters CRAVE them, lol!

[potlatch]

Whoops, sorry, that lamp base is an antique one that I found to put the shade on. I bought the glass shade in Mexico. Wish I had had it lit up when I took the picture!
