Did you get your kiln fixed yet? Are the tiki tiles for your table just air dried in that last pic?

Jason, the tiles are just air dry in the last pic. My Kiln Sitter Tube has been replaced but I can't seem to get it adjusted yet, it keeps overfiring. I did manage to get the table tiles bisque fired though, I got enough stuff to fire every day for a week as soon as I get back running.

Love the lamp, but that table is awesome! Do ya think it'll fit in one of those Flat Rate Priority Mail boxes?

No, I don't think so :lol: it weighs a ton. Made out of pure Leverite - as in leave her right where she is!

The lamp is done, "Mermaid and Moai by Moonlight" That was a fun project to occupy my time while my kiln was down.

I needed a bowl to go in our newly redecorated guest bathroom and wanted to do a three-legged tiki bowl. Now, first of all, who was the genius who invented the 3 legged bowl? A 4 legged bowl (or chair, table, etc) always has one leg shorter than the other 3 and it wobbles. But a 3 legged bowl doesn't, now THAT'S GENIUS!!! Seems like every kind of Polynesian sculpture figure has been made into a 3 legged bowl but I wanted something original (I hope) So I used the head of the Marquesas U'u war club. I made a little pushmold to make the legs so I can make another if I want. The bowl portion will have a Khaki colored opaque glaze to match the bathroom, the opaque glaze would cover any surface decorations, but if I make another I can cover the bowl with Marquesan designs.

Still needs some clean-up and will take a while to slowly dry because the club heads are so thick.
