hang10tiki I wish my shed were bigger then I could have even more shelves. I don't care about shoes, I like shelves.

littlegiles the party was great and the crack is OK. Here's some photos I'm sharing.

Thank you for thinking of me on your weekend and Happy Father's Day

I like to see some of my art objects in the glass case.

Check out here.

We always have fun shopping for tikis.

Tikis, friends and good barbecue ribs by Nelson...a perfect party.

Progress Report

I took this photo and then I cleaned up the mugs #39 and #40.

Then I set up to sand some more dried mugs.

I've found that 11 is all I can do before arthritic pain kicks in and I need to stop.

Dan set up and blew off all the dust.

I loaded the kiln and have room for more.

I dug out the cracks in the volcano bowl. One crack wasn't deep but one went through. Digging them out helps stop them from growing larger.

I did the same thing on the bottom. Then I added my name the year and 1/1.

Next I decided to drill a hole from the mouth opening and out the back.

I checked and I could get the bending end of the straw to turn the corner and lower into the bowl.

Then I carved in these words.

Now since Dan is a father to our cat Fluffy/Sherry I'm taking him out to dinner. I wish there was a tiki place in town.

I hope you are all having a fun day. Thank you always for the visit and messages. Cheers, Wendy
