WestADad we had a tornado 30 miles south of us this week and that was close enough. It's unusual for our area. I hope you are always safe.

Professor G thank you for the second photo. I love all your photos of nature so its a treat to have my art be photographed too.

zerostreet I hope the Blue Bob Group will keep in touch. Today is Friday the 13th the last day for orders and you fellows may have more members joining the club.

Progress Report:

Today Dan and I are starting off by making a mold of the original Missionary's Downfall bowl. There are some needed for the Waiting list. It takes a week for the mold to dry so we'll do it today.

After the mold is made I will begin to paint all of the Zombie Torch mugs and to bake them. Wow soon it will be time to collect addresses and money and to get these shipped out. We'll start that next week.

When I say I was mucking in clay this is what I mean.

All the mugs are on the table waiting for the enamel paint.

It rained and hailed yesterday but we managed to pour a run of the Bob's for the wish list. Opening the kiln last night was a momentous occasion. I love painting the woman.

Back when I made the Missionary's Downfall bowl I left out an I. Now I'll fix it.

I have removed the O and I'll fit the I and O in the space of which there is plenty.

I sculpt better now than in 2009 when I made this clay bowl out of Sculpey. So I'm redoing the bamboo which was too flat.

I've rounded each piece. When a bowl is cast I will add the detail that is required to make it bamboo. So each bowl will be unique.

I did this while watching TV of course. So I worked until 10 PM. There is always something I can work on.

I hope you day is full of smiles, Wendy
