ZeroTiki that was very clever.
littlegiles the thought of a sugar cube/rum spot on the top of the head is interesting. I'll ask Dan since the bowl is for him. I will put it together this morning, that's why I'm up so early.
hang10tiki your prize is out of the kiln.

Progress Report:

The Magic Mend on Eric October's bowl pulled away at the edges. The center stuck. Dan shot high pressure water into the crack and it didn't come loose. So next up will be to fill that crack with more Magic Mend and to keep trying.

We opened the kiln.
There are many steps involved in ceramics.

Top shelf in the kiln after bisque fire.

Second shelf.

Unloaded onto trays.

Carried to the table so they can be hosed off.

Carried to the dining room table where they wait to be glazed.

We be stepping from one table top to the next.

This next week bavtech/Nelson and Mary will be over to glaze their peanut mugs. That will start me on the road to glazing as well.

I love photos where you catch something else. I just noticed our cat in my newest Dan pinup. See in some ways he's like Buzzy in that he'll pose for me (and you).

Now its time to go to the garage and make the peanut mug bowl. I've made a lot of progress on the mug for the Tiki Farm contest as well. Most likely it will not be selected, then I'll have to decide if we should mold and make it.

Thank you all for stopping by, Wendy
