MadDogMike if you do either we want photos! Philot no kidding, I can picture that now I want to go to Disneyland. littlegiles Dan's friend since 2nd grade has seen it so far and is excited. He may use it at the retired cops lunches he goes to each month. Today I'll clean crawl mug #45 and 46 and I'll try not to dent them. I should also work on the volcano's outside. Here's Dan last night just after pouring. What else have we been up too? Here it comes. We love our cancer society store and go there almost every day. We found another small shelf that would fit in the kiln shed. I took out the two drawers and made another couple of cubby holes by duct taping them together and them to the wall. Next we went to Alpha Fired Arts to buy slip. This is how much I've used since we started the crawl mugs. They use a lot of slip! Here are the crawl mugs since I started. 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 as the sculpt it will be a bit smaller but you get the idea that this years is twice the size of last years mug. This is the 06 Duncan glaze isle at Alpha. I've done my best to stock up. They have two more 06 glaze isles one of more Duncan and one of Mayco. They have a small amount of Amco too. This is glaze ecstasy. I've shown this before but for people who are new to my thread I have a good example. You see a pinpoint hole in your clay. If you fire this glaze will never fill it up. Instead you will have it crawl away and you'll have a defect. These holes are larger than they appear. I always scoop out a lot of clay to remove it completely. Then I fill it with clay and smooth it out. This is the best fix and worth the effort. Now it's time to go clean those mugs. Thank you for the visit and to those who voted me up from 12 to 6 on Cool and Current. Dan loves it (we both do) and asks each day if we are still on there. I do not vote for myself so I appreciate that you do this for us. GROG I know its your mission so a special thank you for your votes and as Dan's favorite interesting man would say, "stay healthy my friend", our prayers are with you. Hugs everyone, Wendy
