I plan on making one more BIG one for oasis. I'm thinking complete with a lower jaw, bigger hair, and (possibly) life sized. The mugs safely dried (no cracks), and I totally forgot to bisque fire them last week with the tiles. That is what happened when you don't check your drying rack before closing the kiln lid and throwing the ON switch. I'll most likely bisque them in a few weeks along with some of the other sculpts taking shape in the studio. I'll be sure to post pictures of the process Wendy! :) SandraDee's mug getting details added on day 2: My mug after the final detailing. You can just barely see how we added a hole to drink out of in the hair: The mugs hiding on my drying shelf. I promise not to overlook them in the next bisque firing!
