Today's sunset:

My neighbor told me everyday was like Saturday at my job. I corrected him and said it's actually like Monday morning and always having a full week ahead of me.

I needed to let the little drum dry a little bit, so I started on another larger one today. I got the drum part tapered in a few inches more but it was too dark to photo when I was done:

This one is big. It's about 17 inches diameter. It was so heavy that I had to carve it all on the ground. I made alot of progress on it despite working stoop-backed all day. I think I have enough removed to lift it up on to the carving stand tomorrow. There's still a lot to remove from the inside. The rim is over twice as thick as it needs to be. It's a lot easier to clean this out when it's up higher. Tomorrow will be an easier work day.

Size comparison with the littler one:

Meanwhile at Babalu's studio:

That whole bottom shelf, along with another mug laying down on the top shelf, is all my stuff going into a bisque firing on Thursday,

Then it's a glaze marathon...

I also have a mug in the glaze firing right now. Fingers crossed XX.

Buzzy Out!
