The Blue Kahuna a mold is made and the whole interior is that negative/empty space. It's made of absorbent plaster so when you pour in the slip/liquid clay the plaster starts to pull out the water making the clay firm where it is in contact with the mold. Testing tells you how long to wait until you pour out the slip that is still liquid. This leaves the empty mug behind. It sits over night and then the next day you open the mold and take it out. All the extra like the opening you poured through is cut off. Look at the photo with the Bobs a few posts back where they still have it on the top of their heads. I pour in through the neck and then pour out through the neck. Then same thing it sits upside down over night. Thanks for stopping by I was thinking about you yesterday. We'll miss you all on Thursday. Where are you going? hang10tiki yesterday we had company and today we are getting our nuts into storage for the couple of weeks Dan will be in bed and I'll be his nurse. I hope to get back to glazing really soon. I know the swap is getting closer. Your Honu carving is going to be really hard for you to give up, it looks great. tigertail777 tiki beat by marcus thorn thank you from North America. I just got off the computer after a Geek Squad lesson and what a help. Right now I've found I can't keep TC remembering my password. I click the box but next time I go on it back to typing danlovestikis and the password. Anyone else having that problem? Cheers, Wendy |
