Lotsa Test Tiles.

I am guessing I put in over 100 test tiles (not to mention the "test
pots" too.)

Test tile on the short bag wall.

I put some tests in the spaces on each side of the shelves.

Just need to put some jars around these two tsubo and put the conepacks in.

Temmoku Pot

These shells are a little small, so I used 5 instead of 3.

Refire, Top Pot

I usually like to use shells this size for a pot this size.

Refire on the left. Temmoku on the right.

Hanko (stamps)

First one (red one) is a hanko I use for documents.

The second one is my primary stamp for pottery. It also came from the
hanko shop.

The third one, is my best rendition of the same character as hanko #2.

The Fourth one is what I used in St. Paul and I still sometimes use. It
is IKIRU, the name of my studio/pottery.

Hanko

First one is a rubber stamp my Uncle in Sakai had made for me. It is
my Zen name, Dairin.

The second one is a copy of the first one. It is made in clay.

The thrid one is the first character for Mashiko. It means warehouse.

The last one is made from an impression of a Jade charm that the Dalai
Lama blessed for me.

In my hand for scale. The pink mark at the bottom is where the potter's finger wash when he dipped the glaze.
