That's nice looking pineapple texture. I have to tell you a story about pineapple texture... I wanted a ceramic pineapple wedge to use as a display garnish. I put a chunk of clay in a plastic bag and headed for the grocery store produce section. I picked up a pineapple and casually looked all around, when I was sure no one was looking I SLAPPED the clay (in the bag) on the pineapple. I slipped the bag back into my pocket, replaced the pineapple and walked out. However, once in the car, I decided the bag kept the clay from capturing all the detail so I went back in and bought the damn pineapple. I took it home and pressed a slab of clay directly to the pineapple, bisqued the clay and ate the pineapple. Then I used the bisqued negative mold to texture my pinapple wedge :lol: The things we do in the name of "art"!
