hey lady...stunning work! Yes, you do have clay running through your veins! :)

Sorry about the 2nd Hei Tiki...one thing that I have been doing lately to save energy (money), and to make sure that all the moisture is out of my work, so that there is no nasty little explosions, is to heat my unfired work up in my kiln to about 200 degrees Fahrenheit... and then I just turn the kiln off, and let the work sit in there over night. The kiln will hold the heat for quite a while. Everything is nice and dry in the kiln when you start up the bisque firing the next day.

Congratulations on the Paris show! You French sure know how to party.
