Thanks so much hiltiki. It was one of those fun moments. I knew ahead of time that the head was somewhere in southern California because there was a thread started by some people who said they had heart attacks seeing it in the glass case and thinking it was a vintage head. So while on vacation we started a search and there it was. The best part was being able to talk to the man in Japan.

Tikiskip, I wrote to Roger and here is his reply. Wendy

Wendy, very good lamps, I liked him using the many natural looking island materials. He has done an excellent job designing and putting them together.

I opened the kiln and took out my Missionary's Downfall bowls.

Next step was to hose them off really well to remove the dust and take them into the house to dry.

I checked them over and found one crack where I thought I might get one because the clay was so very thick in this area. It happened to this bowl.

Here's the crack under the forehead. Good luck that it's not is a visible place.

I have a lot of different ways to fix this. I will drill it out into good clay and go from there.

All in all I'm very happy with the outcome. I can't wait to glaze these and pair them with their naughty hula women. Wendy
