* Hang Tags in time for Christmas 

I read an interesting article in Pottery Making Illustrated 
about Hang Tags by Frank James Fisher a couple weeks ago 
that I would like to mention. If you sell you items at 
craft fairs or even out of your own studio, you may want to 
take a look at this article. It provides some great 
insight into how to create a simple, but professional 
looking hang tag that adds to the look of your pieces 
instead of being the typical price tag "eye sore."

So if you are interested in improving the look of your 
items for sale (the holiday selling season is right around 
the corner) then check out his article at:

(Note: I'm sure how long the link above will be available)

Also if you would like to see some great "realistic" Raku 
check out his website at: www.frankjamesfisher.com

help. Thanks again!"-Shannon P. http://www.rakusecrets.com
