Thank you Kele its always fun to read your comments.

Mike I think like you do finding ways to help projects along. I think it works well for us. I've always wanted to be like Kenny to just go wild and see what happens. Maybe one day you and I can have a go wild contest.

Progress Report:

MadDogMike you were instructing a person on how to indent the bottom of a flat cast. I always buy things I think I can use with clay. I had this sock darning tool that you insert into a sock and then darn. I used it after dunking in water to indent the bottom of my mug. Thank you, I was going to carve it. This is better.

I decided to make a couple of bowls. the first one I again pushed in the sides but this time I added Tiki Bobs.

Next up I made a Moai bowl.

I like to have the bowl suspended.

For fun I protruded the lower lip on each Moai just like the old China Sails mug.

After I attach parts I keep them covered for 24 hours to slow dry. Then I cover and uncover for a few days until I know they are not going to crack apart.

Today I open the kiln to see what has survived.

I hope you all have a fine Sunday, Wendy
