Happy New Year!!!

Well, keeping with tradition, I suppose I need some Raku oriented New Years Resolutions. Ok, here's what I've come up with.
1. Finish writing a Raku book I've started
2. Revamp my http://www.garyrferguson.com website
3. Apply to at least four Juried Exhibits
4. Sell more art in eBay
5. Double the subscribers to the Just Raku newsletter
That enough? That should keep me busy during 2004. You can help be out with the last one by forwarding this newsletter to all your potter-friends and encourage them to subscribe.

Got Raku? I got my "Got Raku?" sweatshirt in the mail just before Christmas and it looked really cool! I was very excited - I buy myself the best presents! If you want to be good to yourself too check out: http://www.cafepress.com/gotraku

Remember I always look forward to your feedback, suggestions, questions, and article ideas at: editor@garyrferguson.com.
