For Me?

[rowyn]

I keep forgetting to write this entry.

On Tuesday, after a rather bad day at work, Lut came to pick me up. Next to him on the passenger's seat, was a cardboard box from the mail. At first, I had a horrible sinking sensation about this box. I had just mailed a package to someone (the woman I bought a dress from at ConQuesT), and for one bad moment, I thought it had somehow wended its way back to me already.

Then I looked at the return address. No: it was a new box. For me?

I opened the box, to discover not one, not two, but three pieces of genuine hand-crafted bard_bloom pottery! Woo-hoo! I think I love the little dragon bestest. Yay! Thank you, beetiger! Thank you, bard_bloom! It was a lovely surprise and cheered me up immensely after a hard day. Whee!

PS: Is the bowl food/water-safe?

Glad you like it! It's all food/water/dishwasher safe.

Woo -- even dishwasher safe! Cool. :) I think I may be getting quite a lot of use out of this bowl. :)

Yay! Glad you like it!

All my pottery is food, water, and dishwater safe -- high-fire stoneware, with nice reliable nontoxic glazes. I wouldn't recommend eating highly acidic liquids off the dragon, although by most accounts that would be safe.

Now there's an idea I hadn't thought of ... >:)

Thanks again!

Well, the studio has one glaze with barium in it, which isn't exactly healthy -- but once it's fired to stoneware temperatures, it's supposedly all fused solid and can't leech out, except maybe into very acid liquids. But just in case, I only put that glaze on dragons, and the outsides of things in general.

Glad they found a good home!

I did not know this! I will try to remember not to amuse Mothra at breakfast time by making the dargons swim in the orange juice.

Fortunately, swimming in the cereal ought to be ok. :)
