Yes Professor G they start out dark when full of water. As they dry they shrink and become lighter. Then when they are bisque fired they shrink a second time and turn very white. I'll keep posting all the steps. Progress Report: Bumtay light has two more sculpts finished as shown below. Octopus Simple Hawaiian fish The group so far Progress Report: Zombie Torch #9 and #10 have been fine tuned and are on the shelf to dry. The fan really speeds this up. Tuesday I turned the molds on their sides and had the fan blow air into the mug. That helped dry them out faster so that I was able to open the molds yesterday and to clean up the mugs sooner. Cheers, Wendy
