Hi dartharnie, most kids would be afraid of that mug. Your son is no scardy cat.
I talked a while back with Joniece about the War God. She did on Sculpt and that was for the large War God. The Trade Winds told her that too many were walking out the door so could she make a smaller size. To do this she just molded the large one let it shrink and shrink again when fired. Then she molded it and let it shrink and shrink again when fired. When she got it to the size she wanted they made more molds of that one that was used in production. So all the small War Gods are babies of the one large War God Sculpt. The only variations were in the glaze colors. This bar did not last long and the Cultured Pearl which ordered some was only around a few months. So there were very few of these produced and that's why they are so special and expensive.

Hi LoriLovesTikis, get pretty fast I am looking forward to the photo of you with the mug. How's the swap project going? I'll keep checking that thread to see. I'm glad you like the history lesson. It is about to change now to the projects I've started with the War God.

First up are photos showing my progress on the painting for the Elroy Art Show.

Each evening we pour this many molds

which gives me this many pieces of green ware. Not much for the size and weight of the molds.

Here is the War God all cleaned up. He will be 10% smaller than the original mug I molded.

Side view.

Tomorrow I'll post the first bowl I've made with this Frankoma statue.

Cheers, Wendy
