Nearly one month late exactly. This one had bad timing and had to wait around for both its firings. I have nothing in the works now but there's an after school ceramics club that begins today so I should be starting another mug soon. With each project I learn something new. This one I made asymmetrical on purpose after MDM showed me a technique for creating symmetry which I failed at! The art teacher who lets me use his supplies and kiln thinks this one looks like a clown. Oh well. I need an old tiki carving book for inspiration, I haven't found one yet! Thanks for looking.... I really like the woodgrain carved into the back - and the black inside is cool too. My husband liked his mug. :)
