Great update
Can't wait to see what secrets and updates will be on page 100...

So I decided to see who would congratulate me on my thread hitting 100 pages first on page 100.

Congratulations WestADad I'm sending you a Bumatay necklace for being the first person on page 100 to congratulate me. You need to thank hang10tiki for getting me to think up one more secret contest!

little lost tiki and Zero Tiki thank you so much for your notes. I hope everyone has looked at your paintings for the swap. They are so terrific.

Here's a Progress Report:

I love opening the kiln and finding that all is well.

Of the two Missionary's Downfall bowls I knew the Alter style would have cracks.

These cracks are fine and the alter will not fall apart. I'll work to close them when I glaze.

Back side of Pac Man Bob.

Now everything was loaded up and taken out to be hosed off. Dan used a new high pressure nozzle and when he came in he was drenched. Too bad I didn't take photos of that. I'll start glazing these today.

I found four problems with my painting. First, the short frond on the middle palm tree was not working. Second, one of the short palms had a frond in front of a tree that was in front of it. Third, the front pole was leaning. Forth, the plants were too manicured leaving a black line running in front of the bushes.

Started with the pole. I also moved the high point of the thatch roof to be centered over the pole.

Fixed the problems.

Close up.

Taking photos and posting them helps me see problems that I might of missed.

Time for our morning walk. Cheers, Wendy
