I love this thread. I have a question though.. why do you build up the bottom with clay? Couldn¡¦t you just pour in plaster, let it set, flip it over and pour in the other half (with a bit more care perhaps :))? Or will bubbles and air pockets play tricks with you if you do like that? Any way, thanks for a fantastic thread. I¡¦m looking forward to see the DIY Tiki Mug explosion now that everybody knows how to create ceramics.
