Re: More pclay pots

Hi Keith:

Was this a joke???? :
p.s. Almost forgot, making a batch of cassius pclay using news print instead of
toilet tissue. Will mix it up this weekend.

Cassius Clay was Mohammed Ali's christian name before he became a Muslim....!!
www.ali.com and www.kodak.com/US/en/corp/features/ali


I have had problems experimenting w/ newspaper....getting it to make a soft
enough pulp...curious how yopu do. I think different publishers use different
kinds of paper and inks....
