Progress Report Wish List #3

Hi Friends, I thought about the error message that had shut down my kiln. It said that some zones were not within 100 degrees of each other. I use an aero-vent that pulls air in from the outside to make the hot air in the kiln circulate better. It has been in the low 30's each night (that's when I fire) so I thought maybe it is too cold to use. Last night I set up the kiln and left it off. This morning there was no message and the kiln said it had completed its task. So by Monday morning I'll have it opened and we can see the results. Thank you all for your messages.

I've completed enough heads to make a run of 30 that look like the Ren Clark version. On top of that I made extras in case I ruin any. I also plan to do some 1/1's in my own colors and with modifications.

I've been so busy that I just kept the heads in plastic bags. Yesterday I took them out to clean up.

We need to go to Alpha to get slip. We've emptied all these jugs on projects.

When I fine tune I finish off the waves of hair by adding clay.

Now they are on the dining room table drying.

Today I will begin glazing dartharnies monster trio.

Thank you for the visit, Wendy
