creative cone packs

jeff brown and i have been working hard trying to get the kiln loaded and fired. we now have a deadline since he will have a booth at the league of nh craftsmen's fair at sunapee and needs to have new work done in time. last night we made the cone packs (they measure the heat soak in the kiln). of course we couldn't just make ordinary cone packs...

jeff's is the creature to the left...mine is the fish on right

in the background are some ordinary cone packs from a past firing

...next i will start work on a kiln god to watch over the firing...
