The Mouse

After a week of not firing, we opened the raku kiln to load it up and there was all this fuzzy stuff in the bottom of the kiln.....what could this be? A pile of seeds, fuzzy stuff, bits of shredded tarp...I lifted the bottom shelf and there was a wee little, very worried, field mouse...who immediately ran down into the gas line....perfect! We poked...we banged the line with tongs....we waited....and waited....and waited some more. After what seemed like forever he/she scurried out from somewhere underneath and all was well. In fact, we got some of the best colors ever....I wonder...could mouse droppings be the missing ingredient?

Sorry, there are no pictures...you'll just have to use your imagination....do it, it's good for you.
