Cookaholics Bulletin Board

Oh yes, not gratis. I expected you to charge enough to make a profit, at least on materials (don't know where you stand on speed and if you expect to make a decent wage doing such things). At minimum something to further future projects. I hesitate to call it a hobby, as some consider that an insult.

Carey, Paul, Jean:

So, if you wanted salt pigs, would you rather have them be "cute" (e.g. eyes and feet) or "elegant" (minimalist and classic)?

Example of "cute". These are syrup birds:

I'd rather go for minimalist and classic. Maybe with a beautiful glaze (like your mugs).

Edit: I love the variegated blue of your swirly mug, and the green that you did on your slug mug with the brown interior. Both are beautiful.

And a hearty thanks from me - no need for a salt pig, but I do some good eating tips when I'm next in SF.

Only if you *tell* me you're visiting ahead of time.

Here here. Please don't feel obligated, only do it if you like making things to spec. I like to support peoples pursuits, not make them feel obligated to do things (we all have enough jobs already)

My check is in the mail.

I'm with Paul and Carey on minimalist and classic. And I totally meant to pay for it! I've been wanting this one since it seems big enough to stick a real person's hand in, as opposed to a toddler's.

And what Paul said. The only reason I mentioned it was I thought I read something on the site about custom work, and thought how cool if we all bought the same/similar thing to link our real kitchens as well as our virtual ones.

I have always wondered if those work in a high humidity environment. Does anyone know?

That's the one I have. I like it, but my cat decided that it was super fun to dig in, so now it's filled with fleur de sel and tucked away in a cupboard wher busy paws can't reach it. He does it to my open sugar bowl too if it gets left out.

I haven't noticed any clumping in the summer time. I think the kinds of salt that you'd put in one is less likely to clump.
