small miracle = good omen?

You hope so anyway!  I am packing up for a fair, freshly cooked pots out of the kiln getting prepped and boxed and OH GOSH the second to last item BONKS the last item and it FALLS to the floor!  I examine both.  I ping the last item with my finger (high temperature stoneware pots ping musically like a bell when you tap them...but NOT if they are cracked...like a bell :) and last item pings musically.
You always feel like with a fair SOMETHING will go wrong.  Felt pretty awesome those guys did not break, makes me feel ...well, lets not tempt Murphy's law, shall we?
Have a look at a few items out of this last firing and catch up to you Monday!

    Whew! Glad all is well!

    Is that a new reddish-brown glaze? Or does it just look different to me today? (If so, I will blame it on pain killers.)

    Hi Gary
    A long while since I dropped by your blog - glad that pot had that ping!
    Do you hand mold your little animals on your handles? Love them..
