Behold the WOV Zombie mug - He's drying out waiting for first firing. His buddy (see previous post) is ready for glazing. Both should be quite interesting as we have never actually fired anything in the kiln we picked up years ago (always used the ceramics center kiln). We'll do some tests first and hopefully everything goes ok... As for me... my efforts have been relegated to practicing with the router and dremel routers for the last several weeks. Cap'n Sal has been kind enough to draw up some larger designs for me to practice on. No pics yet. Working with the routers is quite harder than I thought. I had been a big admirer of Monkeyman's routing work before - now that I've had a go at it I'm even more in awe! It'll probably be at least a month more before I feel comfortable enough to start working on real pieces meant for installation. [ Edited by: markmywords 2012-03-19 23:59 ]
