So technically it wasnt the pottery that attacked me it was one of my cutting tools. Regardless, my palm now has a cut on it because I made a ding dong move and didn't pay attention when I should have been. I wanted to make a bunch of raku ornaments today but once I cut my hand I had to stop because I could no longer wedge the clay properly.
Hopefully my hand will heal up enough tonight that I can get back to work tomorrow.
Every year I make ornaments for my family and I thought raku would be fun this year. I hope they don't turn out ugly and I hope they survive the firing!
They kind of remind me of cookies....Mmmmm, cookies....
They look great so far, hope you get to finish them!

FYI, the best natural disinfectant for cuts & scrapes is tea tree oil. Kills more germs, bacteria, etc. than you can shake a cutting tool at! AND, best of all (in my opinion) it does NOT sting when applied directly to the cut. (I'm a massage therapist and have studied essential oils as well... really, the GREATEST stuff God ever invented!)

Love the ornaments! Try Nexcare liquid bandage - it even has tea tree oil in it... Its a must for me when clay and winter meet.
