VampiressRN I can wipe that smile right off his face! Check out FrankenBob. I can't wait to see you today. I'll be playing hooky from the clay.

little lost tiki you inspire me every day. Thank you for keeping track of what I do here.

Tavarua I love doing these Bobs and I know yours will be super fun to do.

Murphdog I am so happy you like the resemblance to both your dog and Bob.

Lori Loves Tiki here's some help. I bought the wrong pinks. They are IN's but not the type that accumuates in the carvings. So best bet will be purple or turquoise. See what's up with your Bob below.

zerostreet I've been so busy I haven't check in on you for a while. I need to see what you've been up too. I'm glad you like the dog.

hang10tiki Bob had an amputation but we hospital people are good at repairs. See below. Just look at all the work you have done to your beautiful bar room.

Wish List Progress Report:

I bought lots of new colors that all needed to have glaze tests.

On pre bisqued forms I did 1, 2 and 3 layers of each glaze. Now they need to fire.

I had no room left on my glaze test wall so I put Dan to work.

We made an entire lower section. I'll have to watch out for nails.

I moved the tests around so that I may keep all the IN glazes together.

Murphdog has fur.

His name was fine tuned.

Murphdog and TapaTurtleBob are now drying in the kiln room.

The name is on the bottom of the mug.

I've started FRANKENBOB

Roughing him out.

He looks like a moai head. Should I remove his chin to keep him more Bob like?


Additions sometimes come loose.

Thaks to MadDogMike I have Magic Mend. Today I'll see if it works.It did let me carve the tiny Bob some more before putting him back on.

I had an extra bowl Bob so I'm trying the same technique to save the bowl I broke. If it works I'll have an extra.

I peeked into the kiln and got a blast of heat in my face but I still got a quick photo. Today I'll open it and start to glaze. I'll also continue to work on the other Bob mugs.

I will also take a mid day break to see all the Sacramento Ohana at Cha Cha's for lunch.

Oh and we need to build some new shelves for the glaze I just bought. I think I'll have to spread out this work over a few days!!! Cheers, Wendy

Oh I just saw the terrific photo Holler Waller posted, thank you so much!
