Harro - Love it man! Ok, ok....Babaloon #1 (Kelly's TC version) it is...I've already got's Babaloon #2 started. Thanks for offering up the really cool name dude.

Mad Doggie - Nope, I'm having fun with these one off mugs. No mold in the plans. Like Henrik, these little hand built mugs just kind of make me feel all warm and fuzzy like, if you know what I mean.

Mud Slinger - Thanks, but really, it's fine...it's just mud. I've lost many pieces over the years as I am sure you have too. You just have to leather up to the fact that anything can happen with clay. The losses make those works that turn out nicely feel just that much better.

Henrik - Hey man, thanks for the prop on the Babaloon...It might have been a good thing that this little explosion happened to the bowl in the end. Now I have something that I can test all kinds of colors on. Even if I get some test colors back that I really like, I will most likely still hit it with a hammer to make little test trees instead of having one big bowl thingy sitting around in the shop here...and besides, I like hitting things with hammers. :)

Sir B. - Thank for the baboon research brother...The other "Babaloons" that I make will have short stubbies instead of long curlys. After doing a little research on baboons myself, I find that these are some really major bad ass little creatures! They got fangs like a bears, and they are smart and strong as hell...Like they plot sh*t...they will kill you, then bite your testes off, then poop down your throat...Mean little bastards all!

Kate - No worries kid...Like I said above, there is always good that comes from everything bad that happens. One creative door closes and another one opens...

Cammo - You left the blown up pieces from this bowl in my studio last night...I cannot for the life of me figure out why you would want these??? Dude, it's trash...

Teaks - Thanks for the input man, but Cammo's right...it's much easier just to build another bowl. Hope your clay work is coming along...you and your Pops are pushing out some nice stuffs.

LLT - Thanks for the support boss...You lucky devil - going to Florida and all. Sorry I missed your call.

Kelly - Just hang in there sister...The next bowl will be better than the last. Your little Babaloon gifty will be done first though... I hear thru the grapevine that you have a big trip planned too? I'm jealous!

Well that was a fun weekend....now back to the grind...
