Today's sunset:

And now, a brief, but comprehensive, overview of what I have been working on since my last post:

I got my first clay commission recently, which consisted of a pair of salt and pepper shakers and a few other matching pieces. I made two sets just in case something happened during the firing and glazing

The other part of the job was a set of napkin rings:

Once again, I made a few extras just in case:

Then I made and army of little guys to use as cheap pendants and glaze test pieces

I cannot wait to sell the ugly ones as limited edition custom glazed artist proofs!

I took this sucker out of moth balls and finally put some finish on him:

He's in the kitchen drying because my garage temperature is far below the range recommended on the manufacturer's directions.

And, in an attempt to produce the most irreverent and unsellable tiki product possible,
I'd like to introduce my new line of tiki ice cubes:

I was inspired to make these after looking at Bablu's garnish thread over in the drinks section.

You can just barely see the cow hide in the rawhide soup in my bathtub:

At about 11 tonight I'll be able to put it on the big fat drum. Then all my drums will be finished.

And lastly, right before sunset I was able to clean off a big log for the next project I've been called upon to do:

It's a little over 7 feet tall.

It was a slow week workwise because I had a case of the stomach flu for a few days, but now it has passed and I'm ready to turn it up back up a notch.

Now if I could only get the rain to stop!
Buzzy Out!
