hang10tiki does that mean I could start a new career?
dartharnie that would make a great photo...

Progress Report Wish List #3:

I started the day by opening the molds and pulling out the sea creatures.

I need 18 Bob's. I've found that the temperatures outside have slowed the drying time of the molds to 2 days. Soon there's going to be rain so its time to hustle.

I cleaned up the sea creatures.

Using a board to support them I put them in zip lock bags with a wet paper towel and onto a shelf. Nothing is drying out in these bags.

Next up the Mayan Temple Jaguar Bowl. I started to do the steps at the bottom and then wised up. I needed to be able to correct it if it didn't work.

As I started at the top I could see that I'd need to add clay at the bottom. This was so hard that I really commend the original builders. They mastered perfection. I'm struggling with each "step".

After the steps were finished I started on the larger walls. 4 hours to complete these steps and I didn't have to chisel huge stones.

My most dramatic photo.

All of this temple will be fine tuned as it dries. I still need to carve out the inside of the pyramid. If I don't then this will crack as it dries.

Thank you always for checking in, Wendy
