[Clayart] recent work - increasing alumina

Hi Carol - 
Wow!  Now there's a blue I could live with!  The inside of the bowl in the
first image is the real stunner, and what strikes me most is the multiple
shades of blue in the crystals contrasting beautifully with the dark cobalt
blue background.  As Bill Schrann will affirm, this is the kind of contrast
that the macrocrystal potters strive for.
