Billy Bob's whole function in life is to protect the electrical equipment and conductors in this power plant from the wrath of Thor. Sometimes that red-haired, red-bearded, hammer welding bugger gets really worked up and pounds the area with lightning to vent his frustration with his wife, Sif. Sif has a tendency to run up huge credit card debt.

What gift did the last ruling German royal give his gay lover? A vase.
From the 1880s, Queen Victoria's first grandchild and future Emperor Wilhelm II had a relationship with Prince Philipp zu Eulenburg. This ended two decades later due to the Harden-Eulenburg affair—a journalist reporting "homosexual" conduct at court. It outed Philipp Eulenberg and enveloped Wilhelm's cabinet—ministers, courtiers and army officers—in trials, libel suits and suicides for years. The press said Wilhelm had become depressed.
The affair led Germany to discuss homosexuality—just as the Oscar Wilde trial in England. Historians tie its aftermath to German foreign policy changes that heightened military aggression and led to World War I.
In happier days, Wilhelm II gave Philipp a huge porcelain vase, decorated in 3D floral- and reptile motifs. The vase was last sold in April 2026 by auction house Lempertz, in Berlin.

I like to spray on a layer of snow white #porcelain over a clay body which can better handle the stress of #raku firing. This piece, with an #Arizona #petroglyph design, is glazed with my Fat White Crackle #formula:
gerstley borate 300
custer feldspar 180
ferro frit 3134 72
epk kaolin 12
tin oxide 30
zircopax 6
The photorealistic image is a paper cutout made with a projected transparency. I soak the thick paper in paraffin so it won't absorb glaze.
