cdtiki and RugbyMatt your Zombie Torch mugs and in the car and ready for the trip.

Here's the beginning of my contribution to the Volcano/Fire/Pele swap that MadDogMike is sponsoring this time around.

This is so much fun to see the variety for this swap. I just came in from the garage after working on my contribution. It's roughed out.

Start with one Bob mug.

Work on some peaks and valleys for the lava to run down.

My swap partner will need to use a straw or will find out fast this is a dribble mug.

Here I began to build Pele.

I thought about leaving off the boobies but decided I owed them to my fans!

The clay is really sticky right now so I'll round out and fine tune those points later.

I made another mistake last night. My alter was drying well and had no cracks. So I decided to leave it unwrapped and put it on top of newspaper to dry the floor faster. It cracked again.

I thought about what I should do.

The woman sits out front and this big hole I dug out is under the bowl.

So I think I will glaze the hole to look like a crack that has red molten lava below. Of course that just means the edges will be red.

Or before I do that I may change my mind so right now it is a work in progress.

I ran out to check on Tiki Tonga's bowl and it was fine, not a single crack.

Thanks for looking, Wendy
