MadDogMike, thanks for the info for plugging the holes. I will definitely do that.

I am also interested in the Pele/Volcano Trade-off but I'm pessimistic about getting done in time or things surviving the kiln. However, I am definitely IN if something survives the process! I just made a couple more pieces today as well, so hopefully that improves my odds. I will post on the trade thread next.

Everybody else, BIG THANKS! It's inspiring to look at all your threads and see what you've done.

I would have posted earlier on these next batch of pics, but Joseph (4 & 1/2) was "helping" me. I had to answer a lot of questions about these pieces, particularly about why the hula girls were in their birthday suits...

...and then my wife wanted to know why there was slip all over the dining room. But I did finish and clean up everything. So all is well.

Anyway, here's a more traditional three-cornered virgin volcano bowl:

And here's another mug using a second Holland mold with leg extended.
