Thank you!!! Thats a good thing, if you thought it might be real... I usually keep my sculptures real simple, but once in a while I'll do a little more detail work.

the fur looks realy enough to run one's fingers through and such a contented little face, exactly the face the little black stray that I feed makes when she sleeps in the sun under my window

It doesn't matter if everyone in the world hates your work. As long as you love what you create and love to create it, it is good art.

Hi, The cone means the selected temperature that you fire the piece at in the kiln, cone 6 is just over 2000* F. The temp used depends on the clay body type and the glaze effects you wish to get.
Electric kiln is what you would here if a potter has oxidation fired on their piece, which is allot like you home over but allot hotter, and Reduction would be a gas kiln which removes the oxegen out of the kiln during firing, they both give you different effects on the glazes. It is a whole science that I am still learning allot about. I have 2 electric kilns and that's what you will see most of my pieces fired at, of course, sometimes I bring a few pieces to a college that is an hour away from me and they will fire them in the gas kiln for me...
I don't mind the questions at all, I'll try to answer them the best I can...
