This is some really terrific feed back :up: ...it just makes one want to go out in the shop and do more and more :) Just a quickie post tonight... Cam - Your mug puts the Funk into Funky brother! Bring that smashed guy back and let him dry out here...wrap it up. Aloha - Wished you were here! You might want to go out and buy another bag of clay...that old reclaimed clay is not the best to work with. Clay is pretty cheap. I would LOVE to see you get your hands muddy...GO ALOHA! Well, I fooled around a little in the shop after work tonight....I have these old back yard party lights that I am guessing are from the late 50's early 60's which I dearly love, and since I've had them, I've thought that the 3 sided shape with round top would make a great mug. So I took one of the 12 shades I have, and reluctantly, cut one of them up and made a press mold out it. After releasing the roughed in clay shape from the mold...I cleaned the pressed form up some (not done with that yet) and then I took one of the diamond shapes and played around with putting a face on it. I'm sure I will do a few of these new mugs with all faces of some kind, but I'm really liking the diamonds just plain on this "Party Light" mug...Hell, I even really like the triadic color way (red, yellow, blue) of the plastic shade. It would be fun to see what LLT could do with one of these (hint).
