Jon, no pressure there w/that graphic. Lori, go go go!

Tigertail, now that you mention it.... :wink:

Update: so, if you may or may not remember, the original Cannibal tile cracked. I tried to use supercharged vinegar slip to re-attach it, but it didn't quite work. I decided to progress w/ the project (w/o posting photos along the way). I glazed both pieces, fired them, then used twine to tie it together- I felt it make it look "modern primitive"- perhaps something found at a nice cannibal casual restaurant? (I had drilled out holes before bisque firing it).

I used a metallic glaze for the knife and fork, and white for the skull. I left the black clay unglazed. Instead of twine I used a red line to tie everything together. It was still missing something, so I added acrylic paint for a bloody finish on the knife. A little more gore than I had initially planned, but am happy w/ the final look.

Wide shot: I used a bit more of the red line as two hangars- tried to use the red to tie the piece together:

Hopefully this is still within the realm of good (TC) taste. The Cannibal Kettle Bowl should be getting fired as I write this. I'll post photos of that one, including the glaze mishap that happened, as one post when I have the final version (w/ the hand hopefully reattached).

Looking forward to seeing everyone else's pieces! It's not too late to join in.... and I'm not just talking about Grog. :wink:
