The Whisker Jar

Nevermind; I now see the "enlarge" link! I'm with you on the price which is why I only have two of them. I love the feel of pottery in my hand. When I buy pottery I'll hold it in my hand to get an idea of how it affects me. Highly glazed pottery is like glass, it holds little appeal, but unglazed pottery is warm and relaxing. Saying that reminded me of a story Dave Y once told of looking for crystals and holding them to feel their warmth. That's how I approach pottery. I have several pottery coffee mugs that I use on the weekends and just holding them removes the tension in my body. I know, strange...maybe that's why I have a crack cat. Julie |

He was right. I couldn't get a decent picture with it turned on but when the bulb is lit the body is a soft pink. http://tinyurl.com/qkqb5 LOL, I have one like it! Rob bought it for me as an I Love You gift a few years back. It stands in a place of pride on a book case in the living room. Pam S. who LOVES the whiskers jars too |

The Whisker Jar
When the vet was looking at Jake this morning, he found a whisker that Jake
dropped. I said, "oh, they are good luck and took it and tucked it into my wallet. First time he had heard that from anyone other than his daughter. She has a collection too. Jo "Julie Cook" wrote in message ... I was asked about my whisker jar recently. I keep cat whiskers because I very rarely find them and consider it a good omen when I do. I seem to remember that several of us here keep whiskers when we find them. When I started this however, the question was what to keep them in. I live just outside a village that supports tourists who visit Stone Mountain and one of the stores sells pottery by local artists. One day while visiting I found the perfect whisker jar. Someday it will be the perfect 'remains' jar but fortunately that day hasn't arrived yet. I have two of these jars - one tabby and one solid.

I also collect whiskers but I use a small glass jar so I can see them.
I also collect claw sheaths in a jar. Yesterday, I dumped them out to take a picture of them: http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/View...e=0&re s=high ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

I still keep my whiskers (err, my *cats'* whiskers, that is) in an Altoid's tin, since somebody here first mentioned that (forget who). I do have a little metal box with a cute kitty on top that I keep claw sheaths they shed in.

You're right, those make perfect whisker jars! I have always kept the
whiskers I found but don't have them in anything special. We have an incredibly artsy community so I think I must keep my eyes open for something cool at one the local art fairs. Love the xmas kitty! That was some packing job I'll bet. Nice pics and CATalog. PatM Even the ears on these cuties are glass. I actually managed to get three of these to Australia without breaking them! |

The Christmas Kitties that Julie and her DH brought over to Oz are
very much treasured by the people she generously gifted them to. Tish On 18 Mar 2006 12:23:11 -0800, "PatM" wrote: You're right, those make perfect whisker jars!
