You have a very steady hand! ==================================== I finished off the sculpting of the Summer Swap mug. I post it here and there. There are a lot of different ways to do the lettering. It can be carved into the clay or it can stand out. I used to try to form each letter and stick them on. Now I put on a slab of clay and out line the letter then carve off the clay around each letter. This works really well. All done and posing. Now it will dry very slowly over a month before firing the first time. Clay is so much fun. Wendy
