Professor G thank you. I sure hope it works this time. Do you still like white with blue dots? If you want something else that's OK too. Swizzles statue looks great but I don't have that glaze.

WaikikianMoeKele Dan only has this happen with one guy at the lab. He figures he needs the practice so he doesn't say anything. Then they always have a woman come and she gets it in one try. He said he will sit up next time!

hang10tiki Dan said he'll remember to say "OK my turn" next time.

MadDogMike the bowl is huge. I guess I should have taken a photo next to a Bob. I love it when you all share photos.
I think Dan had your reactions to shots but only after they poked him 8 times at two different labs. After the 8th he had to lay down for awhile. I intervened and had him go run hot water on his hands. I put on the tourniquet and said poke him right here. They got it.

cy he promises.

Swizzle not only is the glaze terrific the photos are too. Thank you for posting. Your visit was such fun. We hope one day you'll do it all again. Meanwhile keep turning out your wonderful ceramics.

Progress Report:

#15 Severed Head is waiting to get out of the mold.

I've canceled Dan's bowl. Instead I've made one for the Tonga Hut show coming in March. Hopefully this won't blow up.
First I cut a hole all the way through so that air can escape from PELE.

I cut off her arms.

Hair has been added to fill in the holes left by cutting off her arms.

I attached her to the bowl and added flames. I carved on the base to look like the top of a volcano.

Overview.

She's been bagged to dry. The flames were so soft I left them exposed to air.

Chippy's mug came up next on the Wish List. I started with the hat.

The sombrero converts to many styles of hats.

I added the ring to hold it on.

I added clay to the base to make it thicker and then I carved in his name.

Plastic wrap keeps the two parts from sticking but allows me to check the fit.
I put a disk on the front of the hat that will become the badge.

I had a very fun day making these. I hope you all had a fun day too. Cheers, Wendy
