I must apologise profusely 'cos a tragedy has occurred.
All but two of the ten I made have exploded in the kiln for reasons that are unclear.
It's possible that the kiln was not working properly or the lid wasn't shut properly or
just 'cos the birdies all got together and conspired to be awkward little boogers!!
I am told it was not a pretty sight and all I could have done was recycle them into a
kind of parts-of-birdie-collage type thing and re-fire, but that would probably not
have been a pretty sight either, so I opted for starting again.
The two that survived went into another firing as there wasn't room for them all in
one go.
So, the long and the short of it is that I have now re-made some of them and will be
doing the others as soon as I possibly can.
I am sorry for keeping you all waiting but I'll let you know when they're ready.
Yours grovellingly,
Fishy

Re-made four more birdies last night and retrieved two more "survivors".
So I think, barring anymore mishaps, they should be ready at the end of
next week to send out to you all.
I'll probably make a couple more though, incase there are anymore casualties!

Ah Petitecalicocat, funny you should mention them - I have some ready and was just looking
at the list today to see who ordered which colour so I can get them sorted out and posted.
Bear with me another day or so and I'll be back with proper info.

speak for yourself CB, I shall continue to behave as normal - as badly as possible.
I have been guarding my pay-pal balance so that I can pay.
