What is the definition of a parasitic cone in a volcano?

Can cone 10 clay be fired to cone 5?

The cone rating of a clay or glaze is the temperature at which the clay matures. So if a cone 10 clay is fired to cone 5, the resulting pot will not be completely matured. This may or may not cause a problem, depending on what the piece is used for. For example, a cone 10 porcelain which is fired to cone 5 and not glazed will still be somewhat porous.

How do you make a kistka?

Very few people make their own kistky (styluses), as commercially made ones are generally of much better quality, relatively cheap and widely available on-line. A simple wooden handled version can be had for about $3 in North America, and about $1 in Ukraine. There are several ways of making a stylus, but they all require a metal cone (copper or brass), a handle, and a means of attaching the cone to the handle. If you cut a small piece of sheet copper, shape it into a cone with a very small opening, and then attach the cone to a wooden dowel or stick (usually by passing it through a hole in the stick and wrapping into place with copper wire), you will have created your own kistka. Fancier types of kistky require machining, and entirely non-cost effective endeavor.
