I'm just glad that I gave away all my rubber bands and just use straps. After this mess I'll never go back. TikiAno working on the home bar has paid off. I enjoyed your photos. LoriLovesTiki that was really fun to read. It's fun to see what our lives look like from your perspective. ============================================================== The best sale ever at Aaron Brothers. Buy one Canvas, any size and get two free of equal or less value. I spent $30 and picked up $90 worth. Now I'll have to find the time to paint. ============================================================== These photos are for the two Wish List bowls that dartharnie ordered. His kids are drawing pictures of what they want and will tell me which of these creatures should go into the bottom of their bowls and how their names should look on the outside. Derek, don't forget their color choices. I made a rim around the mold with clay so I could pour this as a sheet. After a couple of hours Dan poured out the excess slip. Then it was left on it's side overnight. The next morning I tipped it out onto the underside of a tray. These are some of the sculps I did for the chunk lamps that Roge makes. When we was done with them I made this mold. I've made these into mugs and necklaces. I just use a spike to cut them out of the sheet. When molding I sacrifice some parts to insure that the sculpt will come out of the mold and that casts will too. So note the fin on the right. It has a piece missing. I just added clay and make it whole. There is no waste clay. Depending on how clean it is I either save it for making molds or as sticky clay for sculpting. I just put it in a bag and store it according to how I'll use it next. Before and after. Puffer Fish. They needed the same kind of additions that the turtle needed. All finished and placed on a board. I slip the board into a plastic bag and now they'll wait until I get more instructions. I am working on the Wish List in this way. Making the parts that will become the whole. I sure do have fun with clay. Cheers, Wendy
